Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Spend the Day at 'Great British Baking Show' Set
On your marks…get set…bake—with Ryan and Blake!
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively got to live out the dreams of Great British Bake-Off fans, visiting the picturesque set on a summer day. Judge Paul Hollywood joked on Instagram that he'd replaced his co-judge Prue Leith with Lively, who sat beside him inside the baking tent ecstatically as if she'd just received the coveted "Paul Hollywood handshake."
"Sorry Prue, Blake (@blakelively)has taken your seat…welcome to cake corner Blake ??#legendinthetent #getbaking," he wrote.
Reynolds, 46, also shared a photo from his set visit, posing in front of the tent, sandwiched between Hollywood, 57, and Leith, 83, captioning it, "A full and unconditional hug of pure serotonin."
Season 9 winner Rahul Mandal quipped under Hollywood's post, "What is happening here, first Ryan, then Blake. Does that mean you and Prue are going to be in the next Deadpool movie?"
Season 12 winner Giuseppe Dell'Anno also pointed out in the comments that Hollywood was "smiling like there is no tomorrow" with the company of the 35-year-old Gossip Girl alum.
Fans loved the idea of Lively and Reynolds being on the show.
"The 2 people I'd love to see do Celeb bake off Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively imagine the competitiveness," someone joked. Another asked, "Please say they are doing a bake off special……we need a couples special!!!!"
Though the couple has yet to confirm how their day on set came to be, it's possible that they'll be part of The Great Celebrity Bake-Off season 7, in which each episode features a new batch of familiar faces, from actors to previous contestants, battling it out in the tent. However, no announcement of the new season has been made yet. It's also possible that the A-listers were invited to spend the day with the judges while visiting Wrexham A.F.C., the soccer club Reynolds co-owns that is based in Wales.
That said, one eagle-eyed fan noticed that the mugs Hollywood and Lively have may be Christmas-themed, commenting, "I smell and [sic] freshly baked Christmas Special!!"
It wouldn't be far-fetched for the celebrity couple to be among the celebrities participating in the next season of The Great British Baking Show: Holidays.
