The BBC's Strictly Come Dancing had a lot to celebrate on the weekend, winning the Saturday night ratings battle by pulling in 10.6 million viewers to beat ITV's The X Factor by more than 3 million. But for many viewers, the crowning glory will have been the sight of Mary Berry emerging from the top of a wedding cake after a Great British Bake Off-themed routine by the show's professional dancers. Twitter users were whisked into a frenzy, with one tweeting: "Mary Berry popping out of a cake is the best thing I have ever seen", while another wrote: "OMG Mary Berry just came out a cake on Strictly Come Dancing - could my Sunday get any better?" A few linked Strictly to the weekend's other big TV news, with one tweeting: "Dear @BBCOne - you are really spoiling us this weekend! Tom Baker back as Doctor Who & Mary Berry bursting out of a cake! TV Gold!" Others were less complimentary, with one tweeting: "Mary Berry on Strictly looked uncannily like a cake based Version of Davros leader of the Daleks. But slightly less threatening." However, it's unlikely that the BBC, after having exterminated the ratings opposition, will be too concerned.
