'I don't actually like cake'

They may lack baking skills, but good eggs Kate Garraway and Sarah Beeny are taking on Bake Off for charity

Kate Garraway and Sarah Beeny are brilliant broadcasters at the top of their game, but ask them to bake a Battenberg or a brioche and they don’t know where to begin. Which is why entering The Great Celebrity Bake Off For Stand Up To Cancer will be a bit of a challenge.

“I've never really baked,” laughs Sarah, 53. “I think I'm a bit too impatient.”

Kate, 57, tells a similar story. “I've never really done it. I love cooking and always seem to know how to combine ingredients to make something delicious but that's different because you can taste it as you go. Baking is a different ball game entirely.
