Ferne McCann gets a little hot in the kitchen as she attempts to rustle up a cake for Macmillan's Night In campaign

Mary Berry has nothing to fear in Ferne McCann if her recent attempts to bake a cake are anything to go by.
The Only Way is Essex regular looked a little flustered while covered in ash after a hair-raising kitchen disaster in promotional shots for Macmillan's Night In campaign.
The reality star is throwing her support behind the fundraiser, which asks people to stay in and donate what they would have spent to the charity to support those affected by cancer.

The brunette beauty was dressed to the nines in an asymmetrical sequinned dress, and ready to entertain her pals when she remembered about her cake.
She said: 'I'm not sure what went wrong this time as I like to think of myself as a bit of a foodie. I think I spent too much time doing my make-up and forgot that the cake was in the oven.'
Prior to the incident, Ferne had oozed glamour thanks to her showstopping outfit and loose waves, which were swept over one shoulder.

She teamed her gown with a chunky, bejeweled pink necklace while treating herself to a glass of bubbly.

Earlier in the week Ferne had undoubtedly turned heads when she left the enclaves of Essex with boyfriend Charlie Sims, and headed for the chic of Chelsea to attend a smart brunch at the Bluebird.
