Bake Off viewers left gasping over incredibly 'filthy' scene

Great British Bake Off fans were left gasping over a rather "filthy" scene this evening involving baker Michael and his cake.

Tonight, the bakers were tasked with drawing inspiration from celebrations across the world.

However, there was a rather inappropriate moment for Michael as he tested his cake to see whether it was ready.

Michael dipped his fingers in and it looked very naughty indeed, with even the show's official Twitter sharing the clip and writing: "WARNING: Viewer Discretion Is Advised. #GBBO."

And fans couldn't believe what they had seen.

While another commented: "Glad it wasn’t just me that thought this seemed vaguely NSFW."

A third quipped: "Kinky."

"The fingers in the dough though #GBBO," another remarked.

One wrote: "The way Michael just stuck his fingers in that dough made me feel so uncomfortable #GBBO."

Another quipped: "how far did michael want to stick his fingers into that dough?? #GBBO."
