Nigella Lawson has been credited with The Great British Bake Off overtaking Strictly Come Dancing for the first time.
The 66-year-old chef and TV presenter has won over viewers after replacing Dame Prue Leith as a judge alongside Paul Hollywood in the latest series of the show.
The change has led to more viewers tuning in for the Channel 4 baking programme than BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.
More than 7.1 million people watched Lawson's first episode, according to figures from the Broadcasters' Audience Research Board (Barb) .
