Sandi Toksvig teases "breathtaking" creations on The Great Big Tiny Design Challenge
The former Bake Off host is the face of More4's upcoming miniature design competition.
Sandi Toksvig has spoken about the miniatures made by contestants on The Great Big Tiny Design Challenge, teasing the "breathtaking" designs that are featured on the show.
The eight-part More4 series sees designers compete against one another to create tiny furniture for doll-sized houses, with Toksvig hosting the show and interior design guru Laura Jackson judging alongside miniature sculptor Willard Wigan MBE.
When asked whether the show will have a wide appeal despite being a niche industry, Toksvig told RadioTimes.com and other press: "I think it's the scale that will make people not be able to believe it.
"I mean, when you see a miniature bathtub a 12th of the size of an actual bathtub with running water, you see a mangle that can actually mangle clothes, it's breathtaking. Some of the scale was incredible what they managed to do."

She added: "I went to proper stately homes and looked at what it should have looked like if it was art deco or regency or whatever, and it's amazing how close they all got."
