I thought the BBC weren't allowed to use brand names so why can they say Jaffa cake?

I'm staggered that so many of these contestants appear never to have seen a Jaffa cake before.

Lipstick lady looks a little like anna friel

Ok, he's amazing

Liking Rav and Andrew . . . . . . so far!

Star baker?

Oh those lairs, letting people down again.

Selasi is lovely.

We just got 'Mary says 'lair/layer' bingo.

Go Selasi!

Really like Selasi. Not keen on gin and tonic boy either.

Joe Lycett is my neighbour randomly

ooh, she does, doesn't she. Have to say I'm rather partial to Salasi already. It's the relaxed attitude I think.

The young guy who was no.2 in jaffa cake challenge has lovely eyes.

need to concentrate on cakes

Living up to your nickname there MiddleClass.

I think jaffa is a type of orange, so they can use it.Rather than a brand name.

Ah, a mirror glaze cake. I see the producers have been hanging out on Pinterest.

Eddie Redmayne has fallen on hard times

I agree rousette

Bet choc orange cake lady was a little miffed when she found out about the technical.

I HATE Selasi. He seems too relaxed and smug.

I like Candice though!

Selasi is my favourite so far

aerobics granny is f*ing manic

I must be like two minutes behind everyone else - I've only just got to 'mirror glaze' announcement - I did try to watch this in synch with DH, who's at a hotel in London, but we had to abandon it as he was really ahead of me, even when he tried it on iplayer!

Wasn't there a court case about Jaffa cakes? They proved they were a cake so there isn't VAT paid on them.

Candice is played by Catherine Tate, no?

Hello hello. Late to the thread but have been watching.
Loving Selasi so far. And I like his cake too.
