The photo, Paul said, was taken in the late 1980s, as he drummed up excitement for tonight’s episode of GBBO.
The baking whiz wrote alongside the picture: “Ere’s one from the late ’80s, it’s also the theme for the Bake Off tonight, THE 80s…! 8pm on @channel4.
“Quiche, vol au vents and custard slices at the ready X #bakeoff #gbbo #getbaking #staysafe #80s.”
