By Lauren Del Fabbro, Press Association Entertainment Reporter
Social Media star Molly-Mae Hague has said competing in The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer (SUTC) was one of the “most insane experiences” of her life.
The influencer, known for starring on the ITV reality dating show Love Island, was named star baker during the latest episode of the Channel 4 baking show charity special.
The 26-year old appeared on the programme on Sunday night where she faced dancer JoJo Siwa, writer Richard Herring and comedian Babatunde Aleshe in a bid to impress the judges, TV cook Paul Hollywood and pastry chef Cherish Finden.
The four stars were tasked with making traybakes, tarte tatin and childhood toys in biscuits.
After being declared the winner of the episode and receiving her star baker apron, Hague took to Instagram and said: “Still trying to process that this even happened.
“Taking part in Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer was honestly one of the most insane experiences of my life.
“Just so grateful to have been part of something so special for such an incredible cause.
“I’ll truly never get over it.”
The comment section included messages of support from her friend and fellow Love Island star Maura Higgins as well as from her partner, boxer Tommy Fury who commented “Proud”.
Hague starred on the reality dating show in 2019 and met Higgins as well as Fury.
The couple had their first child together, a daughter called Bambi, in January 2023 with Hague announcing in February that the two are expecting a second child.
It comes months after she confirmed the two were back in a relationship together following a split in 2024 while they were engaged.
Stand Up To Cancer is a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4.
Other stars competing in the national baking show include Radio DJ Scott Mills, One Day actress Ambika Mod and comedian Joe Wilkinson.
The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer will return on Channel 4 on Sunday April 5.
