Great British Bake Off fans are not okay with Jurgen's baking choice

Great British Bake Off fans were not okay with one of Jurgen's bakes on tonight's show.

From day one, Jurgen has been a favourite among fans, thanks to his personality and impressive skills.

In the first two weeks of the competition he was crowned star baker.

But things changed on tonight's show when he struggled with bread week.

And his first bake didn't go down well with fans.

Paul Hollywood asked the contestants to make focaccia.

Jurgen explained that he was doing focaccia with kippers and boiled egg, explaining it was his favourite part of British cuisine.

However, viewers were shocked by Jurgen's choice of flavour.

Matthew tweeted: "Kippers and boiled eggs? Nope, not for me."

Adrian wrote: "Kippers? Jurgen clearly doesn't want the pressure of being star baker for the first three weeks."

Atlas commented: "I'm not a fan of focaccia to begin with, but kippers and boiled eggs????"

Andy said: "Kippers focaccia? Jürgen, you've been doing so bloody well."

And Ben tweeted: "I’ve been saying all week how great Jürgen is, and now I’ve just started watching #GBBO and he’s putting kippers in focaccia. Why, Jürgen, WHY?"

Judges Paul and Prue Leith didn't enjoy his focaccia either.

Paul said it had a 'wet base' and 'needed more proving, less baking.'

Prue said: "I'm not absolutely made about the flavours.

"And I love kippers, I just think it could have been a bit better."
