In fact, this is not the first time that Rahul has baked Noel's eldest daughter Dali a cake. As it was revealed during the Christmas episode, Rahul also made a cake for Dali's first birthday back in 2019.
"On my daughter's first birthday, Rahul made her a cake and came down all the way from Rotherham on the train with a cake on his lap [...] what a legend," Noel revealed during the episode.
