Sweet suffering Jehovah! The Derry Girls cast are gonna be on Bake Off

Derry Girls and The Great British Bake Off bring such joy into our lives and now our two favourite shows are teaming up. 

The cast of Lisa McGee’s hilarious series are set to show off their baking skills on a very special episode of Bake Off.

Nicola Coughlan, who plays our favourite wee lesbian Clare, confirmed the news on Instagram this evening and we may burst with the excitement.

The Great Festive Bake Off will see actors Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Nicola Coughlan, Jamie-Lee O’ Donnell, Dylan Llewellyn and Siobhan McSweeney channel their inner Mary Berry.

Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig will host the show and help guide the cast of Derry Girls through their baking challenge.

The show’s judges will also be there to crown the champion. Let’s just hope the cast are better at baking than their characters are.

You can catch the Derry Girls/Great British Bake Off crossover episode on Channel 4 on New Year’s Day.
