I can't lie, I don't spend my week in anticipationm, waiting to watch the Great British Bake Off. However, many fans of the show were left saddened earlier this week when Love Productions announced it will be switching to Channel 4 and waving goodbye to presenters Sue Perkins and Mel Geidroyc.
Then Mary Berry announced she was fucking off too and apparently that was the end of the world.
However, the bookies have slapped odds on the Chuckle Brothers joining the revamped show and, suddenly, I'm interested.

Don't get me wrong, they've been placed at 500/1 but, still, that means we can't rule it out. The brothers themselves aren't ruling it out, either.

They released a statement on Good Morning Britain earlier today which said: "We normally like to keep things confidential, but as this rumour is out on social media we would like to say, that we can't deny or confirm that we have been approached to host The Bake Off!
"However, we do know a lot about custard creams, cakes and biscuits."

Imagine the sceeeenes. 'Come and give us a hand shifting this Victoria Sponge over there, Barry. To me, to you!' (I'm so sorry).
It's fair to say the people of Twitter are pretty buzzed about it.
One wrote: "If The Chuckle Brothers really have been approached to host the Bake Off then it'll be brilliant.

"Fantastic statement from them on #GMB."
You heard it here first, lads. Mel and Sue out, Paul and Barry in.
