Celebrity Bake Off's Sara Cox 'refusing to take off' item after Paul Hollywood handshake

Celebrity Bake Off star Sara Cox was awarded the iconic Bake Off apron as she impressed with her unique cake shaped like Jeremy Vine and won a handshake from Paul Hollywood.

The Radio 2 presenter appeared on the Channel 4 hit show alongside Adam Hills, Reverent Richard Coles and Joe Locke.

First the stars took part in the Signature challenge where they had to make biscuits but it was during the Showstopper ride where Sara impressed judges Prue and Paul when tasked with creating cakes depicting their famous best friends.

Sara decided to bake a toffee cake in the shape of co-star Jeremy Vine riding a penny farthing. She explained that she chose this design because he loves to cycle.
