Speaking in the video, Tanya explained: "So a while ago my friend Scarlett Instagrammed a rainbow bagel. I just thought it was the coolest thing in the world and ever since I've been looking in the UK for rainbow bagels. I couldn't find a recipe anywhere so followed a tutorial video on the Brooklyn bakery's website with a basic bagel recipe."

The star said that although she wasn't able to make the dough as bright as she would like, because the neon food colourings aren't available in the UK, she was still thrilled with the "amazing" results. "
This is just so cool, I am so happy with how this turned out, honestly guys," Tanya said in the video. "I think this is the most excited I have been in a baking video in so long. It was such a risk to make this but how cool is that? I am so so happy with these!" Should you wish to make Tanya Burr's rainbow bagels at home, here is the recipe to follow:
