Celebrity baker Lorraine Pascale says she once toyed with becoming a mechanic.

The former model says she wanted a new challenge after giving up the catwalk.

That led to her doing an mechanic's course at a Skoda garage, and training as a hypnotherapist with Paul McKenna.

Lorraine dropped in to chat with Alison Curtis on Sunday Breakfast, and revealed that baking wasn't her first career choice when she decided to give up modelling:
