Noakes joined Suzelle DIY to create a YouTube video on "how to make a pizza out of cauliflower" instead of flour.The video was uploaded yesterday and in nine hours had been viewed 26000 times.In the video, Suzelle introduces Noakes as a professor of food."He says [carbohydrates] are out and fat is in," Suzelle says.Noakes plays along with the satire and tells Suzelle: "Sweeties and chocolates are the devil."Co-star Marianne then offers him a plate of koeksisters, and he declines to partake. But she does not take no for an answer and tries to stuff them into his mouth...
