Great British Bake Off fans say show went 'too far' with innuendo in latest episode

Tuesday night's episode of The Great British Bake Off saw the seven bakers whittled down to six after Metropolitan Police detective Amanda failed to impress with her Terrine Pie.

However, it was another moment in the episode that drew the most attention on social media.

The Great British Bake Off is known for its playful double entendres and innuendos, from "buns" to "soggy bottoms", but last night's episode may have pushed the limit of what fans find acceptable.

When judging Shared lives coordinator George' schoux pasty doughnuts, Prue Leith's unusual wording left host Matt Lucas and fellow judge Paul Hollywood giggling.

"Quite often I need two holes so that I can squirt," she said.

"You squeeze the bag. When you meet that little bit of resistance, it usually means it’s full."

The remarks caused a stir on Twitter, where users wondered if the show crossed a line in terms of what is acceptable.

"Way too much childish innuendo this week," one viewer posted.

Another commented: "#GBBO isn't even pretending to be wholesome anymore."

"Quite often I need two holes so I can squirt’ this has gone too far," said a third.

Another wrote: "The euphemisms this week are too much".

However, not all watchers were left unimpressed, as others found the episode "hilarious".

"Last nights bake off was sooo funny, I literally couldn’t stop giggling," one fan tweeted.

A second said: "Literally laughed so much at @BritishBakeOff tonight, been bloody hilarious".

"#GBBO was so funny with innuendos that I had to retweet them all for future laughs. Sorry not sorry," posted a third.
