The Might Boosh star was dressed to impress in a red and black leather jacket, with a purple and black stripped top and skinny jeans.

He was joined by fellow GBBO newbies Prue Leith, who's taken over from Mary Berry, and his co-host Sandi Toksvig.

The saucy 77-year-old recently told The Sun about her sex life with her husband, John Playfair.

She admitted: “I think I get a lot of cheeky comments because I got married in October to a mere toyboy of 70.

"Older people think that's rather romantic and charming.

"Younger people think, "Good Lord, are they really still at it?

“It will sound a rather pompous thing to say but it’s quite healthy that older women like me are not just expected to sit in a corner and knit.”

Paul Hollywood, the only familiar face returning to the show, has said he's very impressed with new comedy duo, Noel and Sandi, even though he keeps getting their names wrong.

He admitted: “I had to walk out of the tent a couple of times. They have a different comedy style.

"Mel and Sue have been together 15 years or whatever and then you’ve got Noel and Sandi — they are comedians in their own right."
