Bake Off fans mock Paul Hollywood after he says rainbow bagel represents the NHS

Bake Off fans mercilessly mocked host Paul Hollywood this evening after he suggested that rainbow bagels represented the NHS.

Tonight was Bread Week and the bakers were tasked with creating soda bread for their signature bake.

Next up was the technical bake, for which they had to make six rainbow bagels.

But Paul sparked mock outrage after saying that they represented the NHS - completely forgetting the LGBTQ+ flag.

Of course, fans didn't let him get away with it and flocked to Twitter to comment.

One tweeted: "NHS = rainbows. I don’t think. #GBBO."

While another joked: "“it represents the NHS” shut up Paul, they’re gay bagels #gbbo."

A third wrote: "Just got to that point in #GBBO when Paul said rainbows reminded him of the NHS and I..."

"You just know they called it “NHs bread” to get the gays talking. Damn, we’re so predictable #GBBO," another quipped.

One wrote: "As if Paul Hollywood just said the rainbow bagels represent the NHS. I can't deal with this gay erasure #GBBO."

Another quipped: "why did it make me mad that paul said the rainbow bagels were for the nhs and not pride lmao #GBBO."

*The Great British Bake Of returns next Tuesday at 8pm on Channel 4
