Matt Lucas had Bake Off viewers in fits during this week’s episode of the Channel 4 competition.

Chocolate week left many of the contestants battling for survival after a shockingly poor first challenge that had some viewers up in arms.

“I think the rainbow colours for me, although it originated over in the States, I think it represents the NHS.

“It does now certainly,” he added.
