However, when it came to speaking more about the new role, she admitted that the deciding factor came down to the one perk of the job.

She had already been on an episode of The Great Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off with James Blunt, Alex Jones, and Joe Sugg, where they were challenged to make miniature Yorkshire puddings and a biscuit scene.
When the news of her appointment as the host of Bake Off broke out, an old clip from this episode resurfaced.
Lynsey James tweeted: 'Since Alison Hammond is officially the new host of Bake Off, here she is on the SU2C Bake Off, thinking her oven door had vanished'.
This amusing moment left her confused when she thought her oven door had disappeared.
People on Twitter were delighted to be reminded of the iconic blunder.
‘Alison Hammond, the woman who thought her oven door had vanished when it was tucked away, is going to be the new Bake Off host, and I am here for it,’ one user posted.
