What have Scarlette and Stuart Douglas said about taking part in The Great Celebrity Bake Off?

For the siblings, the pair have admitted that neither of them can bake – but they do love a good baked good if presented in front of them, especially a sticky toffee pudding and a banoffee pie for the brother and sister respectively.

Scarlette expressed her strong desire to win the title of Star Baker, stating that she is highly competitive and this accolade means a great deal to her.

“When Stuart and I did Love It Or List It for Black to Front on Channel 4, he won that episode, and I feel like I need a comeback. It’s 1-0 at the moment, I need to come back and draw 1-1.”

While Stuart added: “Put it this way: There are four of us in this tent. If I come third, and my sister comes fourth, for me that’s a win.”

Stuart explained why they are participating: “We’ve had many close relatives and friends go through cancer. Tragically, we’ve lost some loved ones recently. It appears that as we grow older, cancer is becoming increasingly common.

When I was younger, I’d only heard about it, but never truly understood its impact. Now, I see it affecting those around me, and I believe it’s crucial that we unite and do our part to help however we can.
