These absolutely hilarious Celebrity Bake Off tweets are an ideal antidote to the doom and gloom

Celebrity Bake Off fans took to Twitter last night to rave about the show as the UK faces a deluge of bad news over the coronavirus outbreak.

Comedians Russell Howard and Jenny Eclair joined Love Island's Ovie Soko and documentary maker Louis Theroux in the iconic tent to have their bakes judged in aid of Stand Up To Cancer.

In one round, judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith couldn't bring themselves to taste funnyman Russell Howard's attempt to create mille-feuille (a vanilla slice, basically).

Here are some of our favourite reactions to the calming cake programme we all know and love.

Many saw their own chaotic energy reflected by Russell Howard

The coronavirus outbreak wasn't far from fans minds, with some worrying about the fate of the famous Hollywood handshake.

And neither was the panic buying trend gripping the country.

Not to worry though, Louis Theroux picked up one of the prized handshakes

These young fans knew who they wanted to win the star baker apron

Bake off hosts Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding also left fans in hysterics when they were seen throwing pies at a Paul Hollywood dartboard

With host Sandi Toksvig leaving the show, many viewers had their opinions on who should be replacing her.

One Twitter user even thought they should find inspiration from the current contestants

Matt Lucas was announced as the new co-host today (11 March).
