Just don't ask me to dance on TV, says PAUL HOLLYWOOD
This year, for the first time, it will be an all-soap star line-up of contestants.
Natalie Cassidy and Dean Gaffney of EastEnders, Chris Bisson and Sheree Murphy from Emmerdale and Corrie favourite Shobna Gulati will all battle it out to be star baker.
And Paloma Faith will belt out a Christmas classic in the one part of the show Paul, 58, really dislikes - because of the dad dancing. He says: "It's a cringe-fest for me. I have to stand there....
bopping around. Oh, God. I feel so cringey." And fellow judge Prue Leith and hosts Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond know it.
Paul says: "I said to Prue on the way to the stage where Paloma was, 'God, I hate this. I really do not like this'.
"And she said, 'I know'. Of course, all the crew love the fact I don't like it and wind me up constantly. They say, 'Can we get a bit more movement, Paul?' I go, 'Oh, stop it. Stop it"."

\"GRANDA,\" my granddaughter ordered rather than asked with saucer eyes and irresistible smile, \"put on my dress\". Two initial points. Firstly, it was much too small for a 6ft bloke. Secondly, I'm not the gown sort of guy. Neither wisecrack dared pass my lips.

Things can only get Beto, Dave
IF David Moyes watched this tie, he might think again about making a return to Merseyside. The expected successor to Sean Dyche in the Goodison Park hot-seat will have an FA Cup fourth-round clash to contend with later this month. But this was hardly a performance to stir Blue blood just hours after Dyche departed.
