Nigel Signs The Official Secrets Act!

Nigel phoned last night to say that he had the most wonderful time at the recording of The Great British Bake Off - An Extra Slice, it was all he had imagined and much more, and if he loved Jo Brand before, he loved her even more now too, she was lovely, and he wished she was his real life auntie!

But after that, he said he could say no more because he had signed the Official, Official Secrets Acts, he simply couldn’t divulge anything else that he had seen or heard, under almost pain of death, until the main programme has been aired tonight, so that the identity of the baker who left the tent remains a secret until the very end.

……. and you know Nigel, he takes such matters very, very seriously.

He also couldn’t take any photos in actual the studio, which was a pity, but those pictures, he said, were all firmly inside his head ……….

But he thought it would be alright to take couple of pictures outside the studio and in the queue to get in ……..

…… saying that  it was really interesting to see the varying hand sizes  of all famous people who had had their hands entombed on the wall within the cloistered studio gates.

He said that you could also watch the TV outside to while away some of the waiting time ……..

He did risk, just for us, a couple of pictures inside the waiting area, where everyone was seated and briefed about what was going to happen, you could also have a wee, something to eat, and show the bakes you had made for the production team to scrutinise to see if they were worthy/funny/unusual enough to be able to sit in the “famed” staged area and presented to the panel.

By tonight all will be revealed …… but never let it be said, before the event, that Nigel has loose lips!!!!
