For anyone who has watched The Great British Bake Off and found themselves thinking, I could do better than that, here's your chance.

The producers of the BBC reality show are appealing for JC readers to take part in series seven, which will be broadcast next year.

Keen amateur bakers are invited to apply for the opportunity to impress judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood with their perfect pies, cakes and, who knows, even challah and rugelach.

So if you have a knack with kneading, or a way with a whisk, get more information or an application from www.thegreatbritishbakeoff.co.uk or email baking@loveproductions.co.uk.

Or, if you don't know your sponge from your short-crust, you can always nominate someone you know who does.
