Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith has poked fun at her major winner’s blunder ahead of this year’s final.
Leith, who replaced Mary Berry on the show when it switched to Channel 4, incurred the wrath of fans after accidentally spoiling the 2017 final by tweeting the winner’s name ahead of the show airing.
The judge, who quickly removed the tweet, blamed her actions on the time difference as she was away in Bhutan.
Leith mocked her own gaffe in a hilarious tweet (presumably before locking her phone away in a cupboard), ahead of Kim-Joy, Ruby Bhogal and Rahul Mandal going to battle in tonight's grand final.
The 78-year-old wrote: “Good luck to all the bakers tonight in the @BritishBakeOff FINAL.
“All fantastic bakers and worthy winners. That is all I am going to say....for now!!!”
Fans were quick to jump on her comical tweet, asking her if there are multiple winners this series, while others told her to step away from the social media site.
One wrote: “Winners?? Plural? I swear on me mam I'll choux you up and down that if there's a joint winner.”
Another said: “Well done Prue!! Glad they let you on twitter today :-) We are very excited about tonight!!”
A third wrote: “Please Prue turn off all your social media for 24 hours. So looking forward to the grand finale tonight.”
Leith accidentally ruined the final for millions last year after tweeting her congratulations to Sophie Faldo 12 hours before transmission.
The show mocked her blunder in the opening sketch of this year's series with Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding pretending to be in Back To The Future to stop her post.
As the pair jumped into a silver car to travel through time, they jokingly revealed they were trying to stop Leith from publicly revealing the identity of this year's winner.
Viewers then saw Leith and fellow judge Hollywood sitting on a sofa with Leith apparently preparing to send out a social media post on her phone.
The Great British Bake Off final airs Tuesday October 30 at 8pm on Channel 4.
