Great British Bake Off champion Candice Brown might be a whizz in the kitchen, but it looks like she's got butter fingers. The baking winner has accidentally broken her glass cake stand trophy she was awarded on the 2016 series.
The TV star and pub landlady shared a photo of the precious broken item after something fell from her chimney.
She told fans about her mishap and begged followers on Twitter for help: "Anyone know where I can get a new one of these??? F***. (Something fell down the chimney hit it and it smashed.) I’m devastated #breakoff."

Alongside a picture of the shattered item, she updated followers and wrote: "It's still broken, I'm still gutted. The chimney is a p****.
"I've had a few suggestions and some advise. Some great, some not massively helpful but I don't think I'll be going back on @britishbakeoff to win another - I'd get my a*** handed to me now.
"One of the suggestions that kept cropping up was [Japanese art of repairing broken pottery] kintsugi. Do you have to do it yourself or are there experts that I would send it to?

"A normal repair you would still see the break so why not make the break beautiful? Also feel weird about a new one - it wouldn't be mine - does that make me weird?
"A lot of people mentioning @therepairshoptv too - now what a crossover that would be!!!
"All jokes aside, I'm actually very sad about this - feels proper s***. I worked so hard for this and it really is a reminder that I can be good enough so of course I broke it."
Is that the Repair Shop we can hear calling?
