On the latest episode of The Great Sport Relief Bake Off, Geri Horner, Louise Redknapp, Jermaine Jenas and John Simpson whipped up a selection of treats for Mary and Paul.
But while the celebrities got confused over their beetroot and chocolate traybake, Twitter was in a complete muddle over whether it really was war correspondent John Simpson or in fact naturalist national treasure David Attenborough.
The excitement was palpable when everyone thought it was Attenborough.
DAVID ATTENBOROUGH IS ON BAKE OFF AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER 🌿🍰

But then disappointment set in.
I was confused why Bake Off people were calling David Attenborough 'John'. Just found out it's because it's John Simpson🙄…

Sorry to everyone I told David Attenborough was on @sportrelief Bakeoff tonight. That is in fact John Simpson.

Conspiracy theories now abound.
Has anyone ever seen John Simpson and David Attenborough in the same room.#GBBO #BakeOff
