Celebrity Great British Bake Off 2023: David Schwimmer crumbles under pressure

The Celebrity Great British Bake Off is set to return to screens this Sunday and, as usual, nerves are getting to some of the contestants as they crumble under the pressure.

In Sunday’s episode, former Friends actor David Schwimmer, 56, and a host of other famous faces are tasked with creating a meringue centerpiece as part of the spectacular challenge.

But when it comes to construction, David has an unusual way of fixing and putting his own together.

Frantically spraying his rabbit creation with something from a can, the American says, ‘Come on, freeze spray, do your thing!’

She then turns to the camera, explaining, “I’m going to freeze it and hope it’s the glue.”

Bob the Builder: When building his centerpiece, David decided to use freeze spray as a way to fix and assemble his smash and hoped it would work like glue.

Later in the show, David is seen trying to pick up his fragile bunny, using a huge silver slice, but fails as one of the ears quickly breaks off.

Cursing under his breath, the legendary star breathed out a long breath as if to calm down.

Elsewhere, fellow actor Tom Davis, 43, is having an equally chaotic time when he tries to get his meringue out of a bowl.

The Plebs actor comments: ‘This is a nightmare.

I’m worried, I’m not going to lie. Yeah, this isn’t going to work, I can already feel it cracking.

She then picks up her bowl of meringue, flips it over, and curses as it quickly breaks, breaking off an entire piece.

The celebrity special, in support of Stand Up To Cancer, features a total of 20 familiar faces who will battle it out to be star bakers.

They include former Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson, New Zealand comedian Rose Matafeo, Loose Women’s Judi Love and Coleen Nolan, Olympian Tom Daley and reality star Gemma Collins.
