Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds sent Great British Bake Off fans wild on Friday as they posed for fun snaps with judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.

Hollywood actress Blake, 35, cosied up to celebrity chef Paul, 57, in a photo shared to his Instagram, with Paul even joking that she should replace his co-judge Prue, 83.

He captioned his post writing: ‘Sorry Prue, Blake (@blakelively) has taken your seat… welcome to cake corner Blake #legendinthetent #getbaking’

The Gossip Girl star looked radiant in a black and white polka dot dress as she beamed to the camera while affectionately touching Paul’s arm – with fans hoping Paul’s joke was true.

But husband Ryan needn’t be jealous as he too posed with Bake Off stars Paul and Prue.

The Deadpool star, 46, and self proclaimed fan of the series, beamed in the photo as fans begged him to guest host the show.

Ryan cut a stylish figure in a lime green linen shirt which he layered over a white vest and slate trousers.

Sporting his hair in spikes he donned a pair of thick rimmed black glasses as he wrapped his arm around each judge as they posed in the sunshine.

Prue, 83, sported a colourful printed shirt which she teamed with her now iconic quirky jewellery and specs.

Meanwhile Paul, 57, looked smart in a navy blue shirt which he teamed with jeans and appeared pleased as punch to meet the Deadpool star.

Ryan captioned the Instagram snap: ‘A full and unconditional hug of pure serotonin’.

While Paul also posted a photo of the meeting and said: ‘Prue and I catching up with @vacinityreynolds’. 

Racing to the comments section one fan declared: ‘Hollywood meets Hollywood!’.

With one more fan asking: ‘But did you get a Hollywood handshake?’. 

Ryan previously revealed to People how he and wife Blake Lively enjoy nothing more than unwinding in front of the Channel 4 cooking show.

He said: ‘We live in a world that’s pretty divisive right now and there’s a lot going on. And I like that show just because it’s a nice thing to watch at night,’ 

‘Everybody on the show is nice to each other, which I find refreshing. It’s not really about anything that’s going to remind you of chaos.’

It comes after New Great British Bake Off co-host Alison Hammond has revealed that not a single slice of cake was involved in her audition for the role.

It was confirmed last week that the This Morning presenter, 48, would be replacing Little Britain’s Matt Lucas, 49, on the beloved Channel 4 programme, joining forces with comedian Noel Fielding, 49.

To see whether she was good enough for the job, Alison was asked by producers to chat with strangers at a garden centre, with no sweet treats in sight.

Shedding light on her audition, she shared: ‘They made me interview random strangers, to obviously see if I’m good with different people. It was a weird audition.’

After securing the role, Alison was told to keep the exciting news to herself for three weeks, but she couldn’t help but let her son Aiden, 18, in on the secret.

Poking fun at her inability to keep schtum, she added to The Sun: ‘Can you believe I couldn’t tell anybody?’

In March Alison confirmed her exciting new position on Great British Bake Off in a video of a cake which was shaped like the show’s iconic white tent and featured a model of her, Noel and judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith.

In a voiceover, the presenter said: ‘This is breaking news, Alison Hammond is joining the team of The Great British Bake Off.’

Existing co-host Noel was more than thrilled to welcome Alison to the Great British Bake Off family.

The Mighty Boosh star shared a photo of his new co-host on his Instagram, writing: ‘It gives me so much pleasure to welcome @alisonhammond55 into the tent.

‘I’m absolutely pumped we are working together. We are gonna spend the whole time giggling like naughty school kids.

‘The bakers are gonna love you to bits. x x x @paul.hollywood @prueleith @britishbakeoff x’
