Great British Bake Off viewers go nuts over a squirrel

BBC2's The Great British Bake Off delivered more than just the winner's chocolate and pistachio meringues

Viewers might have tuned in to The Great British Bake Off's grand final last night to get a glimpse of Jo Wheatley's white chocolate and pistachio meringues. But many found themselves choking on nuts of a different kind when a shot focused tight on a squirrel's testicles. Don't worry, squirrel wasn't on the menu: shots of squirrels in the show's parkland setting have been a running gag throughout the series. Presenter Sue Perkins tweeted before the show: "I can now reveal that this week's GBBO features a shot of a squirrel with outsized nuts. Trust me, they are anatomically DAZZLING. Enjoy." Meanwhile, Caitlin Moran warned viewers: "I've just seen a preview tape of tomorrow's The Great British Bake Off. And 41 minutes in, there's a shot of a squirrel with ENORMOUS testicles. Remember everyone: it's the squirrel with the massive knackers on Great British Bake Off. Exactly 40 minutes in. HUUUUUGE." You can watch it on the iPlayer here about 36:10. Moran tweeted today: "After yesterday's squirrel with enormous knackers on Great British Bake Off, today can only be topped by Coast having a badger with huge tits."
