Great British Bake Off's Chigs shares grim reason why his finger was bandaged up

Chigs Parmer has revealed the reason for the bandage on his finger in last week's challenge.

The Great British Bake Off star, 40, appeared on the show with a bandage causing some fans to wonder what had happened, as MyLondon reports.

Responding to a fan in the comments, Chigs explained the story.

The Great British Bake Off viewer wrote: "Noticed your finger was bandaged up in the last challenge. Hope you're ok."

To which Chigs replied: "In week three I sliced a chunk off my finger. My finger was not looking its best. It's still not back to normal."

The baker also shared a snap of himself and fellow Bake Off participants Amanda and Rochica showing there is lots of love backstage despite all competing in the same contest.

Captioning the photo, he said: "Spending time with my baking family is always great. Today @amanda_foreverbaking, @rochica_ and myself got to meet so many amazing people, who like us, also love baking.

"Thank you all for making us feel welcome. We all appreciate your support. #gbbo #cake #cakeinspiration #cakeinternational #bakingfamily."

Loving baking unity, one fan said: "So nice to see you guys together."

A second wrote: "Great picture. Good to see you all together, you look so happy."

"Awesome. Love this pic and been loving watching everyone's journey on GBBO," said another.

A fourth user commented: "Love this baker love!"

It comes as Chigs won Star Baker last night (Tuesday, November 9) impressing the judges with a gluten free red velvet showstopper for 'free from' week.

Unfortunately it was the end of the road for Lizzie, though, who failed to wow the judges with her ice-cream sandwiches.

The Great British Bake Off semi-final airs next Tuesday at 9pm on Channel 4.
