Fresh from the flour and icing-splattered marquee of The Great British Bake Off, presenters Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc have landed themselves a nomination for Best Female TV Comics at this year’s British Comedy Awards.

Perkins and Giedroyc will face comedienne Miranda Hart in the same category, who is up for the prize following her appearance on Room 101 in which she chose to send her breasts into oblivion.

Sarah Millican and Nina Conti are also contenders for the award, due to be announced live on Channel 4 from an awards ceremony hosted by Jonathan Ross on 12 December.

King or Queen of British Comedy, the only award decided by fans, sees Graham Norton, Sarah Millican, Jack Whitehall, David Mitchell, Lee Mack and Alan Carr battling for the crown.

Other leading nominees include The Last Leg and its host Adam Hills, NHS sitcom Getting On and children’s show Horrible Histories.
