The programme really does what it says on the baking tin - it's an extra slice of all the tastiness of the main show.

Like the main show, An Extra Slice is also shown on Channel 4.

It also includes unseen footage that wasn't aired in the week's episode.

Audience members can also bring in their own, but might find them harshly judged by Tom.

Jo shares pictures sent in from cooks around the country - ranging from culinary delights to baking disasters.
