David Morrissey has been crowned Star Baker in Week 3 of Channel 4's 'The Great Standup Up To Cancer Bake Off'.
He was up against actress and comedian Lucy Beaumont, diver Tom Daley and presenter Adele Roberts.
He took home the award after receiving a handshake from Paul Hollywood in the first round for his quiche. He also did well in the second round where they all had to make the classic bourbon biscuits.
In the third and final round they all had to make a cake inspired by their perfect day off. David made a cake of himself watching his football team, Liverpool, on the sofa. Paul, who is also a Liverpool fan, loved his cake leading him to just edge victory over Adele Roberts.
"I can’t believe it. I mean, I don’t know whether you saw my face when it was announced, I was convinced it was going to be Adele, I thought her cake was so amazing. So, yeah, I won’t gloat about it," David said.
Prue Leith added: "David had a really good two days. He’s a really careful baker. Tom and Adele were both close on David’s heels. David didn’t romp ahead and win, he just pipped them to the post."
And, proving what a lovely guy David is, the actor tweeted after the show: "Loved doing this. It was a real laugh and wonderful people to spend time with. Please donate as every penny counts!"
It's been a great week for David, with the incredible 'Sherwood', in which he starred, taking the Best Drama Series Award at the RTS Awards earlier in the week.
