Celebrity Bake Off fans left crying with laughter over Tom Allen's joke to Paul Hollywood

Comedian Tom Allen left The Great Celebrity Bake Off fans in stitches after making a cheeky innuendo to Paul Hollywood.

Paul and co-star Prue Leith were inspecting the celebrities' millionaire shortbread, which proved tricky for some.

But Tom appeared to win over Paul who commented on his delightful bake.

Inspecting his cake, Paul told Tom: "Nice crack," to which Tom joked: "Thank you, but what do you think about the shortbread?"

The Mirror reports the exchange prompted tweets from viewers who were left crying with laughter.

Taking to Twitter, fans shared their thoughts about the funny remark.

"OMG I'm dying," one person penned.

A second commented: "Tom Allen should host the bake off. He's brilliant."

A third laughed: "Absolutely howling at @tomallencomedy on #GBBO #celebritybakeoff #su2c."

"Gave me a laugh," a fourth quipped.

Despite impressing Paul with his shortbread, Tom didn't manage to wow the judges over with his car horn cake.

Thankfully for Alexandra Burke, she won the challenge with her incredible baking enough to win over the judges.

The remaining stars will do their best in the next challenges to try and win, with celebrities including KSI, Anne-Marie and John Bishop aiming to get to the top.

*Celebrity Bake Off for SU2C continues Tuesday at 8pm on Channel 4.
