GBBO contestant James looks worlds away from the tent as he transforms into pregnant woman for fancy dress party

BAKE Off star James left fans doing a double take as he transformed into a pregnant woman for a fancy dress bash.

The nuclear scientist, 25, fashioned a baby bump for the party before proceeding to cover it up in a printed hospital gown for images posted to his Instagram page.

James, who survived week one in Bake Off's iconic tent, wrapped a towel around his head and pulled on socks and red slippers for his quirky look.

He finished off with a cigarette perched in his right fingers and a sassy scowl.

Another snap showed a pal of the Bake Off star coming up behind him to give his bump a hug.

Cumbria-based James gave little away in his image caption as he wrote: "An amazing night at the Games Night 11th year anniversary!!! Thank you @catch_frase and no, I will not explain these photos."

His mates were quick to add some banter in the comments section, with one writing: "Never seen you so cute."

A second put: "You look amazing hahahah 😂😂."

A third then giggled: "You’re glowing 💖."

Last week fans were elated as the Channel 4 show made its return.

GBBO made its comeback with the dream team; , 49, , 82, , 56, and Matt Lucas.

Janusz was named star baker for his cake designed like his mother's flat, while Will was sent home for his bake.

Meanwhile, James grew up in the east-end of Glasgow and moved to England after university.

He is a self-proclaimed board game geek and loves horror films from the '70s and '80s.

His enthusiasm for music is reflected in his baking style - which is now significantly better than it was during his childhood when he was burning pancakes in his mother’s kitchen.

He enjoys the technical side of baking, but is in his element when he makes his bakes his own, with his signature "child-friendly horror" style and adorable decoration.

James' favourite flavours are anything autumnal, such as mixed spice, apples and caramel.
