The Daily Show made a Brexit Bake Off mash-up with Theresa May and it is genius
Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry are unimpressed with Theresa May's "Brexit Crumble" showstopper
"It's quite divided there, isn't it?" says Mary Berry. "To say it was a disaster would be a humiliation to 'disaster'," Paul Hollywood laughs, while his fellow Great British Bake Off judge adds: "I think maybe you got a bit rushed at the end, and a bit panicky."

This isn't an alternative universe: it is in fact a brilliant mash-up created by America's The Daily Show. Using the Prime Minister's face superimposed onto contestant Danny's body from series three, the clip explains the Brexit crisis to US audiences through the medium of Bake Off.

As Berry points out, the country is divided – and many would agree with Hollywood that the whole thing is getting a bit disastrous.
