IT was a melting pot of innuendos on BBC Two's latest answer to the Great British Bake Off — fronted by Bolton presenter Sara Cox.

And by all accounts, Sara is enjoying every minute as host on the Great British Pottery Throw Down.

The broadcaster, from Little Lever, is the face of the programme, which pitches 10 amateur potters against each other to become the country's best clay crafter.

Sara tweeted: "So many lovely tweets about #GreatPotteryThrowDown thank you. Love it. I love the potters so much."

The show continues on BBC Two at 9pm on Tuesday.
