The Little Mix star appears in tonight's (30.03.21) Stand Up To Cancer celebrity episode of the Channel 4 baking competition, and during the show she tries to get a coveted 'Hollywood Handshake' from the judge.
Before making her move, she says: "I think I will be a bit starstruck when I see Paul and Prue.
“I am a proper fan and Paul’s eyes are something else aren’t they? I’m getting all hot and bothered.”
And once they meet for the first time, she adds: "Oh, Paul's eyes! Very intense isn't it?"
The 28-year-old singer appears on this week's episode alongside YouTuber KSI, TV presenter Stacey Dooley and comedian Katherine Ryan.
Speaking before the show, Jade told Radio Times magazine: "My experience up until 'Bake Off' was that yes, I have baked – but always a pre-made pack.”
And although she practised for two days before heading into the famous tent, she admitted she had mixed results across two challenges.
She said: “I attempted the first challenge. It went horrifically wrong, then I tried it again and it went OK.
“Then I tried the big showstopper. I think I did a good job but once the time is whittled down to three-and-a-half hours, it can all go a bit pear-shaped."
Jade is taking part in the Stand Up To Cancer special to honour her grandmother and auntie after losing both of them to the disease.
She added: "Until you see someone you really love experience cancer, you don’t fully realise how terrible it is.”
