Molly said: “”I’m not going to lie, I’m not normally competitive with anything,” to which Paul interjected: “Are you sure?”
She insisted: “Honestly, I’m not, but with this, I think I’m going to be alright guys.”
Molly proved she was in this to win it.
The reality star admitted she had watched the show enough times to know that things can go easily wrong and decided to make two sponge cakes in case one went wrong.
She told the camera: “I’m an organised girlie today.”
As the contestants focused on their toppings, JoJo admitted that she was good at piping her cake because she used to doing it as a kid.
“This technique is how we’re going to make our tie dye piping, this is the only skill I’ve come in here with and this is from my cupcake phase that I went through as a kid,” JoJo said.
As JoJo gushed about her piping skills, Molly looked up and glanced over at the US star.
But Channel 4 viewers quickly pointed out that Molly didn’t look best pleased, with one writing: “Molly-Mae is really giving JoJo the bitchy eye!!”
A second posted: “Molly-Mae kinda giving mean girl vibes…the editing of this showing her little looks to the other contestants is doing her no favour.”
A third said: “Getting strong mean girls b**** vibes from Molly, whoever she is.”
“Hope Molly Mae loses #bitchy,” a fourth commented.
Another added: “I actually hope JoJo Siwa wins Molly-Mae is begging to win, it’s annoying and not what the episode is about.”
This person said: “Jojo Siwa is like a breath of fresh air. I love how positive she is.”
Molly impressed with her bake and was even rewarded with the famous handshake from Paul.
The contestants were then given a technical challenge which involved making a Tarte Tatin but they all struggled with getting the right consistency for their caramel.
JoJo finally began to achieve the right texture, as Molly walked over to her work station and said: “I’m so happy for you,” before walking away.
The judges awarded Molly second spot, while JoJo was given first place.
The final challenge involved the celebrities making a biscuit dough cake with inspiration from their childhood toys.
Molly brought along her much-loved cuddly toy Ellie Belly, who has been by her side since she was a kid.
After host Alison Hammond picked up the blue elephant, Molly said: “Don’t get too close. I’ve poured years of dribble, snot to create that.”
In the end there was only one winner and TV personality Molly was crowned Star Baker.
Proudly wearing her winning apron, Molly said: “This is the best accessory I’ve won in a long time and it’s an accessory that’s going to go with every outfit because I’m not taking it off.”
One fan wrote: “Well done Molly.”
While others joked that Molly’s toy elephant Ellie Belly needed a wash.
This person said: “That elephant needs a cycle in the washing machine.”
A second posted: “Looks like Ellie belly the elephant needs some fairy pods and a wash.”
