The Great British Bake Off returned for a new series with an opening skit that poked fun at the government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
Fans reacted positively to the opening skit, with the official Bake Off account sharing a screengrab with the caption: “Curd immunity.”
Comedian Chris Addison tweeted: “I’ve been really looking forward to seeing @RealMattLucas on Bake Off, but opening with this long Boris Johnson impression is a bold move even for him.”
New host Matt Lucas portrayed Boris Johnson, complete with blond wig, with judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood offering advice on how to pronounce “scone” on either side.
