Kieran Trippier, 33, Declan Rice, 24, Jordan Henderson, 33, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, 25, were given just 35 minutes to bake and decorate a gingerbread masterpiece in the style of their football hero.

Right back Trippier opted for England’s second highest goal scorer, Wayne Rooney, while midfielder Rice selected former captain John Terry.

Fellow midfielder Henderson went for Paul Gascoigne and Alexander-Arnold chose Steven Gerrard.

Merseyside-born Paul, 57, joked as he strolled into the Bake Off tent to set the challenge: “If you play for Liverpool you should probably win.

“The rest of you, good luck!”

The one-off Bake Off special will air at 5.30pm on Channel 4 Sport’s YouTube page ahead of this afternoon’s England v Malta game.
