Sorry, this video isn't available any more.

After three weeks, Channel 4 has finally won over The Great British Bake Off fans – and all they had to do was include a brilliant pun made by Sandi Toksvig about Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, and star of RuPaul’s Drag Race, superstar RuPaul Charles.

Ready?

Noel began the joke by telling the bakers that during the technical challenge Prue and Paul were ‘going drag racing’ before Sandi finished it off by ending: ‘It’s the Prue-Paul Drag Race.’

For those of you not in the know – RuPaul’s Drag Race follows RuPaul mentoring and judging 13 drag queens as they compete to be crowned America’s Next Drag Superstar.



The moment led to fans at home dreaming of new TV show that featured Prue and Paul judging drag queens although to be honest, we’d settle with Prue and Paul just joining Ru and Michelle Visage in the new series of the hit show.

What I wouldn't give for a second spin-off show called Prue Paul's Drag Race! #GBBO — Bethan (@bethkate90) September 12, 2017

And some called for the writer behind the joke to get a very large pay rise.

Whoever wrote the Prue-Paul drag race joke on bakeoff deserves a pay rise ? #GBBO — Rachel Louise Jones (@cityofrach) September 12, 2017
