David Schwimmer and Jesy Nelson competed on Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer on Sunday but viewers were left loving one over the other.
In the first round of the charity edition, actor David, 56, was branded a ‘legend’ by fans as he competed in the famous tent to raise money for cancer which has previously affected his family.
The Friends star admitted he had very ‘low expectations’ for his cooking skills as he ‘does not bake’ at home but David seemed to surprise himself throughout the show.
Competing against former Little Mix singer Jesy, comedian Rose Matafeo and actor Tom Davis, the celebs were tasked with baking six savoury pies, six delicious macarons, and a 3D meringue of a Celebrity fail scene.
After each round David came out on top winning every single challenge including the Star Baker award and managed to bag the coveted Hollywood Handshake from judge Paul Hollywood.

David admitted ahead of baking: ‘I make dinner, lunch but I don’t bake. My friends and family are very excited for me, they are big fans of the show.
‘I do not bake on a day-to-day or year-to-year. My expectations are so low that I think I might do really well for myself.’
Fans couldn’t contain their excitement as he presented his show stopper before being awarded with his very own Stand Up To Cancer apron in recognition of his impressive culinary skills.
One said: ‘David Schwimmer is just everything and more on Bake Off!’ While another wrote: ‘Living for David Schwimmer of #GBBO he’s the best!’
A third added: ‘David Schwimmer on the British Bake Off is literally everything I dreamed and more’.
‘I’m bloody loving David Schwimmer on this show what a legend he is #GBBO,’ penned another
‘David Schwimmer getting a handshake has made my night. Seems like a really sound guy,’ added a fifth.
During the charity baking show, David opened up about how cancer has affected his family and said he is ‘grateful’ he can help in a small way to raise money.
He explained: ‘I’m here to have fun and raise money for a great charity. I lost a grandmother to cancer, my daughter lost her grandmother to cancer, my sister is a cancer survivor so it is important to me.
‘I am grateful I can help in a small way to help to raise awareness.’
Meanwhile singer Jesy, 31, was slammed numerous times throughout the Channel 4 charity show for a number of mistakes while attempting to bake.
Viewers were quick to take to Twitter to call out Jesy for mispronouncing macaron and only baking three macarons in total.
One said: ‘Ha…Silly Essex woman… Saying macaroons…how ridiculous’.

Another wrote: ‘Can’t deal with Jesy Nelson calling a bain marie a ‘bayne marie’ and macarons ‘macaroons’.
A third added: ‘I can’t with her. I’m in stitches #jesynelson #StandUpToCancer’.
Even the official Bake Off social media account shared a post to ‘clarify’ the difference between macaroon and macaron.
While baking and rolling out her pastry, Jesy said: ‘How do I know what it is meant to look like?’
Prue said that ‘it doesn’t look like you know what your doing’.
The singer quickly replied: ‘This is my technique. This is awful your helping me. I was really hoping for the handshake but it isn’t going to happen is it’.
Later in the show while making her show stopper, Jesy admitted she had no idea how to separate eggs as she attempted to make a meringue.
The show marked the first in the latest series of the popular baking show, which aims to raise vital funds to help fund cancer research and support services, in the special celebrity edition.
