I am just grateful I can help in any small way raise more awareness.” And let’s face it: even their most scathing one-star review has nothing on Paul Hollywood taking one beady-blue-eyed look at their lovingly crafted gingerbread diorama of Westminster Abbey, before saying “You want me to eat that? When those fondant buttresses aren’t even to scale? And he’s got a point. I’m an actor. “I’m gonna be judged!
