The Great British Bake Off: 9 things that look just like Paul's bread lion
Well, that was totally roarsome. It was Bread Week in the Great British Bake Off tent and the showstopper round - in which the 10 remaining hopefuls had five hours to whip up a 3D bread sculpture - produced some spectacular bakes. There was the Brighton Royal Pavilion, a bicycle, a frock, a snake, a bunch of flowers and a Tracey Emin-esque unmade bed.
But best by far was the lion made out of bread. Baked by Welsh prison governor Paul Jagger - himself something of a lookalike for judge Paul Hollywood - the 'King Of The Jungle' creation left Hollywood totally gobsmacked.
"That's one of the best things I've seen on bread, ever," murmured the notoriously hard-to-please judge. "It's exceptional."
Here's a few things the majestic bready behemoth reminded us of...
1. Bagpuss
"Breadpuss, breadpuss, oh floury old catpuss..." And when Breadpuss goes to sleep, all his friends go to sleep. Probably all that gluten.
2. Peter Stringfellow
If the club impresario, veteran ladykiller and all-round mane man ever needs a night off from his Cabaret Of Angels, he can deploy this doughy stand-in.
3. Rocky Dennis - Mask
Not to be confused with Jim Carrey lolfest The Mask, which came out nine years later, this 1985 film weepie starred Eric Stoltz as a boy suffering a rare disorder known as "lionitis".
4. Mick Hucknall
The lead singer of Simply Bread. (We're so sorry.)
5. Cecil the lion
Oi, dumbass dentist from Minnesota. Step away from that rifle or we'll give you a soggy bottom.
6. A chow chow
Paul and Mary chow-chowed down on the showstopper without even pausing to note its resemblance to a fluffy Chinese dog. How rude.
7. This cat
8. Aslan - Chronicles Of Narnia
As Sue Perkins quipped when she saw Paul putting the finishing touches to his loaf: "If Aslan ever needs facial reconstructive surgery, you're the man."
9. Cowardly Lion - The Wizard Of Oz
It might be a dead ringer for the wussy lion from the classic film, but Paul's showstopper was a brave choice. Follow the yellow marzipan road, Dorothy.
The Great British Bake Off airs on Wednesdays at 8pm on BBC One. What did Paul's lion remind you of? Let us know below!
