Alison Hammond put on weight while filming the show
The 48-year-old TV star co-hosts the show alongside Noel Fielding, and Alison has admitted that she gained weight after eating too many cakes.
She told OK! magazine: "I have put on a stone. I couldn’t believe it. I am literally going running tomorrow! I am just going to get bigger!"
Alison was also surprised by the effort levels of the contestants.
She said: "I didn’t realise how much they put into it. It takes over their life so much."
What's more, the TV star has been inspired to bake since she started hosting the programme.
Alison shared: "I have learnt lots. I made brownies twice. But Paul said they were bitter. I was really upset!"
Alison was announced as the new co-host of 'Bake Off' back in March.
The presenter admitted at the time to being "absolutely thrilled" and revealed that she couldn't wait to begin her new role.
She said in a statement: "Finally I can talk about it! I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the Great British Bake Off and can’t wait to meet this year’s bakers. It’s a huge honour to be back in the tent and I can’t wait to get started."
Meanwhile, Ian Katz - Channel 4's chief content officer - described Alison as being "effortlessly funny and the owner of the best laugh in Britain".
He said: "Alison is much loved, effortlessly funny and the owner of the best laugh in Britain. She was a huge hit when she appeared on 'Celebrity Bake Off' and we’re thrilled to have her back in the tent."
