The Mighty Boosh alum spoke about the celebrity specials with comedians Ed Gamble and James Acaster, both of whom have competed on Bake Off, on the most recent episode of the pair’s Off Menu podcast.
Gamble recalled that during his appearance on the show, Lucas had also joined the competitors because of a number of last-minute dropouts.
“Yeah, and he was having a breakdown as well,” Fielding recalled. “He told me to f*** off. Because I just came up and was laughing at him and he was like: ‘Oh, f*** off.’ And then he went, ‘Oh I’m really sorry, I’m just really stressed.’
“I was like ‘Are you joking?’ but it really got to him. I think he felt extra pressure because he was supposed to be good or something.”
Fielding also revealed in the podcast that the producers of Bake Off have repeatedly attempted to get him to compete in a celebrity special, which he’s refused to do.
“They’re always like to me: ‘You should go on it, as a joke.’ And I’m like: ‘That’s not funny. That won’t be funny.’”
