Victoria Coren Mitchell leaves Mary Berry speechless | The Great Sport Relief Bake Off

[@Sunprism]

"My Husband is grateful to have food put in front of him, he doesn't demand that it also resembles the Taj Mahal!" She has a unique ability to deconstruct any competition

[@Tao_Tology]

"I have fulfilled my task of bringing you sustenance. No one said it had to have aesthetic value."

[@rada9748]

And she said it in the exact tone and intonation as David, would. They’re rubbing off on each other. Good marriage.

[@Yvolve]

Ironically, David Mitchell is the person who would be making that demand. I sometimes wonder what their conversations are like, must be hectic and full of petty pedantry. That could be a show in and of itself.

[@seansilence2697]

​@Yvolve I would absolutely watch them just have a conversation for an hour an episode

"But for my taste, I'm not really enjoying them" That is the politest way I've ever heard of someone saying your food tastes like crap. Mary Berry is so wonderful.

[@tihomirrasperic]

i watched so many episodes, and even with the biggest disasters they had nice words for the "result"

[@EmilythePowerfull]

just matched by the equally polite "if you had a couple of pints with it, you'd be absolutely fine" I wonder how many pints would be necessary to make that cake edible 🤣

[@MikaComments]

It's so fun & relaxing watching The Great British Bake Off. 👍 And occasionally you will have good, healthy laugh. 😂

[@heatherstephenson3559]

I love Victoria so much, her first line about not really being in favour of sport was so relatable. Victoria and David Mitchell just seem so made for each other, such a good couple.

[@Trix897]

I adore both of them, and you can see the positive influence they've had on each other. If anything, shouldn't your romantic partner bring out the best in you?

[@Johro66]

Especially when you watch David's "FOOTBALL! FOOTBALL! FOOTBALL!" sketch

[@TheNithal]

What's funny about Victoria's Taj Mahal sentence is she sounds exactly like her husband when she delivers it.

[@Sunprism]

The gasp and shock before "I've come across some salt" I can see why people call this show quintessentially British

[@MelissaThompson432]

The thing I love about VCM is that she's not afraid to Go There. Vodka in a muffin? Salty cake? She's your girl!

[@ciderfan823]

Plus, she shared the vodka with the others.

Victoria Coren-Mitchell is a hoot! She and David must be a formidable pair. I love the story of how they got together.

[@dusssss631]

David has written an autobiography in which this is addressed. Apparently he had been infatuated with her for a long time.

[@lyndamuller2025]

@@dusssss631 I recently saw an interview with Victoria where she said that she was besotted with David from the time they met. My understanding is that she just wasn't ready for such an intense relationship. A true love story.

Watching The Great British Bake Off is very relaxing & fun. 👍 And here & there you can have a good, healthy laugh. 😂

[@cmtippens9209]

The reaction to the cake reminds me of Sir Anthony's reaction to Mrs Patmore's salty pudding in Downton Abbey. 😂

I've not seen that, but I was reminded of Rachel's "trifle" on Friends which Joey enjoyed.

I have a bit of a crush over Victoria, because she has such an enigmatic smile that I see when she is on TV shows like WILTY for example, and the first time I have seen her on this bakery show with the full smile and laugh. Also her and David seem to be a perfect match for each other, and she has also said that she is 'potty' about David, and he feels the same way about her. Great couple....😁

[@silvermoss1776]

"The crunch of the sea" LOL

[@veggiesarefruits]

"The crunch of the sea". 😂

[@me4901]

Her things were works of art. They were different, not just the same sweet pastries. She followed the theme. It's the ocean, it 's supposed to be salty ! If someone makes a bittersweet cake, you can't ding them for it being bittersweet. She should have won and it's sad that she did not.

[@debbiethomas3687]

I wear my glasses if I'm chopping one or two onions, but if I'm doing a batch cook and will cutting up more then I used proper goggles. They work brilliantly. No tears. I just hope no-one comes to the door either while I'm wearing them!

[@VLind-uk6mb]

Ummm...all you have to do is run the onion under a tap, then chop it. Been doing it for years. Failsafe.

If ypu peel the onions under running water and do the first cut in half, it drastically reduces the spray of fine onion particles that cause you to cry. Barely ever a tear and we use onions almost every meal.

[@celestialnubian]

This show is nothing without Mary Berry.

[@Jeffeffery9]

tbh many people find Mary to be surly and abrasive. when you already have that type of judge in Paul Hollywood, it becomes redundant and overwhelming to the contestants. most people I know with taste prefer to watch Prue, who is hilariously self aware, much kinder, and has a different knowledge that supplements Paul's.

[@jasonhare8540]

Fill the sink or a shallow plastic tub with water . Just cut the onions under the water level

[@sneb1886]

Chefs tip: it's easier to just rinse them under the water and cut with a wet knife. The vapour that causes your eyes to leak is attracted to water (which is why it affects your eyes).

[@boredlawyer3382]

Sounds like she thinks one has to jump into a swimming pool! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@caroline4323]

Or just wear contact lenses. I wear contact lenses every day, I was so surprised when once I wore just glasses and I started crying when cutting onions. I am so used to the fact that I don´t feel it.

Idk if I'm weird or something, but I have never had a problem with cutting onions. I was really confused the first time I cut one and had no reaction like people said I would lol

Victoria, you don’t need sunglasses and you don’t need to “chop onions underwater”…which sounds borderline impossible! Just peel then top & tail the onion or shallot and then run it under a cold tap for a minute and ta-da your eyes (um…or at least my eyes) will run again and you won’t run the risk of oniony fingers near your eyes as you fumble with goggles or glasses…honest, guv!!!
