He’s been entertaining his fans with a virtual art club during the coronavirus lockdown.

The Great British Bake Off host, 46, told Lorraine Kelly he’s been honing his cake skills with the help of Paul Hollywood, as they baked a banana loaf last week with his young daughter.

Noel then told Lorraine he’d also been embracing some of the skills he’d learned as the host of Bake Off, and even had a go at making bread with the man himself Paul Hollywood.
‘I made one loaf with Paul Hollywood, it was very much Paul’s loaf, even when I was kneading his big mahogany hands over my ET-like hands, it was quite sensual!’ he told Lorraine.
The Mighty Boosh host added he’d got his daughter Dali, two, involved with the baking, when they weren’t having costume tea parties.
Noel said: ‘She paints she’s very good as well, we dress up as well so we have tea parties, with banana bread and lemon drizzle cake and we dress up, I normally dress up as Macca Pacca.’

Filming for The Great British Bake Off was due to commence this month, but has been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The new series will see Matt Lucas join Noel as hosts of the show, after Sandi Toksvig announced she had quit the show to focus on other work commitments.
Following his appointment, Noel also told Matt that he told Channel 4 bosses he should audition for the job, after witnessing their partnership in a dream.
Noel has also been hosting a virtual art club for fans so they can get creative during the lockdown, and has even been joined by guest judges such as Joe Lycett and Bake Off winner Rahul Mandal.
Lorraine airs during Good Morning Britain from 9am on ITV.
