Jesy Nelson’s ‘awful’ baking leads Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith rushing to her aide instead of offering her the momentous handshake

Jesy Nelson’s self-proclaimed ‘awful’ baking skills have left Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith rushing to her aide, rather than offering her the momentous handshake.

The former Little Mix singer joins the likes of Gemma Collins, Olympic gold medallist Tom Daley, Ross Geller actor David Schwimmer and our AJ Odudu for The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer.

Loose Women stars Judi Love and Coleen Nolan, Dragons Den’s Deborah Meaden and Top Gear star Paddy McGuinness will also be testing their baking skills.

But it doesn’t look like Jesy will be offering up much competition.

In an exclusive preview clip shared with Metro.co.uk, the 31-year-old is trying to roll out some dough.

‘How do I know what it’s supposed to look like?’ she groans.

‘Absolutely fantastic over here, so calm,’ she tries to convince herself as Dame Prue and Paul walk over.

‘It doesn’t look as if you know what you’re doing,’ Dame Prue comments, although Jesy insists this is her ‘technique’.

Not buying it, Paul steps in, advising: ‘Just keep on moving it with a little bit of flour underneath.’

Attempting to take his advice, she tries to flip the dough, leading to an even bigger mess as it tears and she has to start over.

Uh oh (Picture: Channel 4)

‘Oh no, this is awful that you’re even helping me. I was really hoping for the handshake as well, but it’s not going to happen is it,’ Jesy tells them.

Elsewhere, Jesy suffers another kitchen nightmare with a cake toppling to the floor.

Disaster strikes in the tent as the pop sensation tries to balance what appears to be a meringue from a kebab stick, in an attempt to give the illusion that it is floating.

Not feeling too confident, she turns to host Matt Lucas for some help, which she regrets not long later, when after he advises her to push the meringue, it all comes crashing to the floor.

‘It’s all your fault!’ Jesy cries out, before snatching the toppled item out of Matt’s hands. ‘Give it back!’ Uh oh.

The Great Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off returns on Sunday, March 19 at 7.45pm on Channel 4.
