Paul Hollywood has got a secret, and it's not the winner of BBC2's The Great British Bake Off (what do you mean you didn't realise it finished last week?) "I've had tweets from international rugby players sending me pictures of their cupcakes," Hollywood tells the new issue of the Radio Times. "The sponge looked very, very good. Bit of icing on the top. They were given to the team and went down very well." Who'd have thought it? Then again, this is the 21st century, you are allowed to be a top international sportsman and be half decent in the kitchen. Anyway, H-Rod, who are they? Alas, he's not saying. "I won't say who they are because I don't want to embarrass them," says Hollywood. "I'm taking this one to the grave. I don't want these guys after me, believe me!" Feels like a mistake. Once their careers over there could be a lucrative cookery series in it for one of them, or at least a Christmas recipe book. Baking with balls!
