Mary who?
In the biggest Bake Off news of the day, Bristol illustrator Tom Hovey – the artist responsible for all of the drawings on the BBC One show – has published The Great British Bake Off Colouring Book.

Hovey, whose studio is on St Nicholas Street in the Old City, has been providing the artwork for GBBO since the first series.
The official colouring book contains 90 illustrations, including all the best showstoppers and bakes from the show.
