Great British Bake Off shocks viewers with most innuendo-laden episode yet

Even Paul Hollywood got the giggles
Aime Grant Cumberbatch13 September 2017

The Great British Bake Off has long been known for its cheeky innuendos and double entendres, but this week’s show shocked viewers by being the sauciest yet.

It was bread week in the Bake Off tent and the contestants were tasked with making teacakes, tackling cottage loafs and creating spectacular coloured bread sculptures.

Alongside the usual jokes about bakers ‘proving’ themselves and having ‘buns in the oven’, there were plenty of more risqué puns.

Even the usually stern Paul Hollywood got the giggles after star baker Julia brought her bread showstopper to the judging table, complete with phallic-looking snail.

Viewers shared in the mirth on social media, commenting that the show seemed much ruder following its move to Channel 4.

And many struggled to see past Julia’s rude-looking bread snail.

Hollywood had also discussed ‘oiling his fingers’ earlier in the show, as his technical challenge involved poking a hole into a loaf of bread to ensure the right rise.

He told fellow judge Prue Leith “It’s all about making the balls quite tight”.

"The way that we do that and the way I do it is to drive my finger right the way through to the tray underneath."

The sauciness was clearly catching as, when it came to judging the cottage loaves, Leith scolded a contestant for not giving their offering ‘the finger treatment.’

The Great British Bake Off continues on Tuesdays at 8pm on Channel 4.
