Paul Hollywood has ditched the Great British Bake Off tent for the great outdoors in his latest role.
The celebrity chef was spotted filming in London, looking worlds away from his role on the Channel 4 show.

He was seen being hoisted into the air as he took part in some daring stunts for the company's new adverts. At one point he dangled from a rope in front of a building, while in another snap Paul performed a number of different movements, lifting his legs and arms in the air. Another scene saw the Bake Off favourite run through a cloud of smoke.
Paul appeared to be enjoying himself on set, as he was snapped smiling and joking with crew members. He joins a whole host of celebs who have starred in adverts for Compare The Market, alongside the company's iconic meerkats. Film actors such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nicole Kidman and Macaulay Culkin are among those who have previously starred in the ads.
Paul will be appearing with Compare The Market's meerkat mascot Aleksandr in the new advert. He reportedly landed a six-figure deal to be the face of Compare The Market. Paul will appear in the company's campaign, which will use his surname as a joke to promote their 2-4-1 cinema tickets offer.
