While Noel was then introduced as Noel Focaccia, before Prue made her grand entrance as ‘Pane di Leith’.
Newcomer Alison is the final star to join the group in the skit, going by the alias ‘Alison Cannoli-mond’.
A voice over can be heard saying: ‘Welcome to the family’ as the This Morning presenter leaned down to kiss a load of bread.
The skit came to an end with Alison, Prue and Noel staring into the camera while resting a hand on Paul, who is seated behind a desk as he cradles the thick loaf.
Later in the episode fans ‘declared their love’ and are ‘ready to die’ for new contestant Saku after just the first show.
Kicking off the series, the latest bakers were tasked to create a vertical cake infused with buttercream.
The Intelligence analyst, 50, admitted she was ‘not nervous’ but as time went on her nerves started to show.
This resulted in Saku having a Bake Off first… a Paul Hollywood hug.

One wrote: ‘I want it on record that I would die for Saku’
Another penned: ‘Figured out the baker I’m going to hyper-fixate over this series. love you Saku #GBBO’
A third said: ‘I already love Saku #GBBO’
