The 66-year-old from Conisbrough has narrowly avoided the axe in the first two shows of the baking challenge series and is gearing up for her third showdown in the tent at 8pm on BBC1 tonight.

Ms Stones, a former primary school headteacher who is a 7-1 shot to win this year's show, has divided the nation with her eccentric ways.

She now lives in Yeovil, and is among 12 contestants hoping to triumph in this year's series, the seventh in the show's run.
