This week's line-up featured actress and writer Meera Syal, comedian and actor Tommy Tiernan, known for his role in Derry Girls, comedian Adam Buxton, and musician and actress Rebecca Lucy Taylor, who performs under the name Self Esteem. For the showstopper round, the stars revealed their celebrity heroes, with Tommy opting for folk music icon Bob Dylan, whom he depicted in pecan pie form.

Adam presented a cherry pie inspired by Ridley Scott, Meera crafted a vibrant pie in the likeness of artist Frida Kahlo, and Rebecca offered a sweet creation in honour of George Michael. However, it was Adam's pie that garnered the most attention on X, formerly , due to its deliberately horrifying presentation.

The comedian chose to pay tribute to Alien director Ridley Scott by replicating the infamous scene from the thriller where an alien bursts out of a person's stomach, designing a pie with a banana carved to resemble an alien protruding from the centre.

The judges on last night's episode of The Great British Bake Off couldn't contain their laughter as an 'alien' cake failed to shape up upon its reveal, although they commended contestant Adam for a valiant 'effort' and the pie's flavour profile, reports .

Meanwhile during this evening's show, Meera impressed in the signature challenge, receiving the coveted 'Hollywood Handshake' from judge Paul Hollywood for her exceptional crumpets.

As for the technical challenge, the celebrity bakers grappled with creating a Lambeth Cake, which resulted in much hilarity though it was a difficult task for them all.

Ultimately, Rebecca's skills were unmatched, especially since her competitors inadvertently left paper within their cakes.

Bake Off enthusiasts were charmed by the evening's challenges, with one enthusiast tweeting: "Who doesn't love a crumpet!"

Others showed support for the contestants, as one person cheered: "Good luck to all taking part for such an important cause!"
