Celebrity Great British Bake Off 2023: David Schwimmer crumbles under pressure as his showstopper falls to bits during Stand Up To Cancer special
Celebrity Great British Bake Off is set to return to screens this Sunday and as usual, the nerves get to some of the contestants as they crumble under the pressure.
In Sunday's episode, Former Friends actor, David Schwimmer, 56 and a host of other famous faces are tasked with creating a meringue centre piece as part of the showstopper challenge.
But when it comes to construction, David has an unusual way to fix and assemble his.
Frantically spraying his rabbit creation with something from a can, the American says: 'Come on freeze spray, do your stuff!'
He then turns to the camera and explains, 'I'm gonna freeze it and hopefully that will be the glue.'

Later on in the show, David was seen trying to lift his fragile bunny up, using a huge silver slice, but fails in his attempt as one of the ears promptly snaps off.
Cursing under his breath, the legendary star exhales a long, drawn out breath as if to calm himself down.
Elsewhere, fellow actor Tom Davis, 43 is having an equally chaotic time, when he tries to remove his meringue from a bowl.
The Plebs actor comments: 'This is a nightmare.
'I'm worried, I'm not gonna lie. Yeah this is not gonna work, I can feel it cracking already.'
He then picks up his meringue bowl, turns it upside down and swears as it promptly cracks and an entire piece breaks off.
The celebrity special, in aid of Stand Up To Cancer, features a total of 20 well known faces who will all battle it out to be star baker.
They include former Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson, New Zealand comedian Rose Matafeo, Loose Women's Judi Love and Coleen Nolan, Olympian Tom Daley and reality star Gemma Collins.
