The unlikely pair were tipped to replace existing hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Geidroyc with speculation rife on social media.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, the cheeky duo refused to rule out the potential booking.

They said: “We normally like to keep things confidential, but as this rumour is out on social media we would like to say, that we can’t deny or confirm that we have been approached to host The Bake Off!”

They finished by saying: “However, we do know a lot about custard creams, cakes and biscuits.”

Despite this, the bookies still aren’t convinced and are offering odds of 500/1 that the pair will bag the role.

Current favourites are Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders who are believed to be producers first choice for the revamp.

Mel and Sue announced that they wouldn’t be returning to the show after it moves to Channel 4 last week, saying that they wanted to remain loyal to the Beeb.

Meanwhile, the BBC already is said to have plans to replace The Great British Bake Off with rival show starring Sue Perkins and Mel Geidroyc and Mary Berry.

An insider told The Mirror: “We’ve got three of the fab four staying with us. We’re thrilled.”

“The chances of us reuniting Mary, Mel and Sue are very high.”
