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

Celebrity Great British Bake Off returns to screens this Sunday and, as usual, some contestants get jittery as they buckle 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 chapter as part of the showstopper challenge.

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

While frantically spraying his bunny creation with something from a can, the American says, “Come on freeze spray, do your thing!”

He then turns to the camera and explains, “I’m going to freeze it and hopefully that will be the glue.”

Later in the show, David was seen trying to lift his fragile bunny with a huge silver slab, but is unable to do so as one of the ears promptly breaks off.

Cursing under his breath, the legendary star exhales a long, drawn breath as if to calm himself down.

Elsewhere, fellow actor Tom Davis, 43, has it just as chaotic as 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. Yes, this isn’t going to work, I can already feel it cracking.’

He then takes his meringue bowl, flips it upside down and curses as he promptly bursts and breaks off a whole piece.

The celebrity special, in support of Stand Up To Cancer, features a total of 20 familiar faces who will all compete to become 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.
