The chance was offered to the mother-of-4 to try “a French herbal liqueur made by Monks”On a spoon – but she immediately regretted it.
Before taking a sip, Stacey told Cydrick and David the story of French Bake Off contestants. “It’s burning my eyes!”
She struggled to talk and then twirled her hands, before gasping. “It burns!”
Cydrick and David, who now live in Birmingham, have been friends for 35 years and found the moment to be hilarious.
Stacey, who replaced Tom Allen, was announced earlier this year as the new co-host for Bake Off The Professionals.
However, the Loose Women panel star initially found the job difficult.
Stacey only told Central Recorder TV Mag how she felt “thought she was going to cry”After filming was completed for the first episode.
“My first weekend of filming was so dramatic,”Stacey recalled. “I thought, ‘Is this normal?’ It was intensely crazy.
“It was just really frantic and a lot happened. Honestly my heart sank so many times on that first episode I thought I was going to cry.”
Despite the stress, Stacey insisted that working on the Bake Off: The Professionals was like being part of “a family”.
“I was really nervous but they genuinely made me feel like I was part of the family immediately,”She explained.
“Thank goodness for this, to have a bunch of people who really care about the show and want you to do well. A really lovely environment.”
