Vicky Pattison was left swooning on Celebrity Bake Off after 'getting lost in Paul Hollywood's eyes'.
The reality star, 38, best known for her appearances on Geordie Shore, gushed 'I still fancy him' and described her reaction to the presenter, 60, as 'genuinely embarrassing'.
Paul has been a judged on the much-loved Channel 4 show since it first started 2010 - and many have swooned over him over the past 16 years.
Speaking ahead of her stint on The Great Celebrity Bake Off for SU2C, Vicky said: 'I still fancy Paul Hollywood...
'He is a silver fox and a wicked bit of kit - trying my best to impress him definitely added to my nerves.
'His eyes are something else... you can lost in those baby blues!'
Vicky Pattison did not hold back in an interview ahead of her Celebrity Bake Off debut on Sunday and said she 'gets lost in Paul Hollywood's eyes'
The reality star, 38, best known for her appearances on Geordie Shore , gushed 'I still fancy him' and described her reaction to the presenter, 60, as 'genuinely embarrassing'
And she was very keen to get the legendary Hollywood handshake off him.
Vicky added: 'I'm too desperate for a Hollywood handshake... it's genuinely embarrassing. I don't think I'll get one because I'm almost too keen, you know?'
But despite the cringe, she might have been experiencing about her crush, it's all been for a good cause and the star is appearing on the show to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer.
The charity is particularly close to Vicky's heart, as her dad and a friend have battled the disease in recent years.
However, when it comes to baking, she admitted that she came to the show as a relative novice - having last seriously used her baking skills as a child and teenager 'twenty-five to thirty years ago'.
Describing her baking style as 'chaotic', Vicky said: 'I used to bake when I was younger... I used to make the birthday cakes for all my family - and I used to love it but this is about 25 [to] 30 years ago. I honestly have no idea now.'
Vicky's stint on the show is not her first foray into a celebrity charity kitchen and she also appeared on Celebrity MasterChef in 2019.
While some might assume this will give her a better chance on Bake Off, Vicky herself stressed that cooking and baking are two completely different skillsets.
She said: 'I think cooking and baking are two very different things - both stressful but baking makes me sweat from behind the knees a little bit more I think!
'I did MasterChef a few years ago and honestly my main in the final was a disaster - my lamb was still raw! I really crumbled under the pressure.'
Celebrity Bake Off has been a runaway success since it was launched in 2018 and has raised a staggering £113 million for the charity to date.
The famous faces taking part in it this year are: Vicky, JoJo Siwa, Molly-Mae Hague, Scott Mills, Sam Thompson, Rag 'n' Bone Man, Aston Merrygold, Edith Bowman, Emmett J Scanlan, Ralf Little, Richard Herring, Joe Wilkinson, Babatunde Aléshé, Rose Matafeo and Judi Love.
They will be joined by: Tom Davis, Mark Wright, Nella Rose, Mutya Buena, Rose Ayling-EllisAmbika Mod, Roisin Conaty, Jon Richardson and Alex Brooker.
It comes after Vicky broke down in tears during a sweet moment on her new show which aired this week as she realised that she would like to adopt with her husband Ercan Ramadan.
The former Geordie Shore star is starring in a new series called Vicky Pattison: Maybe Baby? where she explores if she wants to start a family or not after getting married in 2024.
Wednesday night's episode saw her discuss the options of surrogacy and adoption as a means to having kids.
She met with one woman who had adopted her kids and had a really positive experience.
Vicky became emotional as she spoke to her and when they left her house she told Ercan: 'This is the first moment I've thought 'I could do that'', as her husband agreed with her.
While they haven't ruled out adoption in the future, the end of the episode saw them both break down in tears as they agreed they'd like to try and have a baby naturally themselves first.
Heading out on a date night the couple finally made a decision after discussing their options with family and friends.
Vicky told him: 'I want a family and I want to be a mam.'
Ercan echoed her thoughts and said: 'I think we should try and have a baby this year.'
Vicky did admit: 'I'm still scared!', as Ercan agreed, saying: 'Yeah I'm terrified!'
The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer 2026 continues on Sunday at 7:40pm on Channel 4.
