After a dramatic Biscuit Week in the tent, the Great British Bake Off returned for episode three on Tuesday night.
However things got off to a dramatic start once again as host Noel Fielding took a savage swipe at none other than Gordon Ramsay.
The comedian, 50, compared the renowned British chef, 57, to an omelette after claiming ‘all chefs are ugly’.
As bread week kicked off with the signature challenge, contestant Dylan confessed to Noel his ambition to be a chef.
Trying to dissuade him from the career in the kitchen, Noel replied: ‘You don’t want to be a chef, chefs are ugly. You are too attractive to be a chef.’
He then joked: ‘Have you seen Gordon Ramsay, he looks like an omelette with eyes’.
While Gordon is known for his hot temper in the kitchen, Noel then added: ‘Don’t put that in he’ll beat me up.’
Taking to Twitter, fans were left in hysterics as they wrote: ‘Noel “Gordon Ramsey looks like an omelette with eyes”’;
‘Gordon Ramsey is like an omelette with human eyes! HAHAHAHAH ���� Noel makes #GBBO I swear!’;
‘Noel calling Gordon Ramsay an omelette with eyes is diabolical’.
Gordon revealed back in 2017 that he was asked to take part in The Great British Bake Off reboot after it made the switch to Channel 4.
However the chef, who previously fronted Channel 4 show Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, said he rejected the offer because he didn’t want to star in a show which already had a cult following.
Speaking to The Telegraph, he said: ‘I’m not very good at sloppy seconds. I don’t want to be the male version of Mary Berry. I’m 30 years younger and more wrinkly than her anyway.’
Last week saw a dramatic biscuit week after lecturer Jeff was forced to quit due to illness – before two contestants fell to the floor during the showstopper.
As Jeff returned to the tent after suffering illness during cake week – sadly his condition failed to improve and he was forced to call time on the competition.
Alison asked: ‘Are you alright Jeff?’ before he replied: ‘I’ve had enough. I’m done.’
‘You tried man, you tried,’ Alison said as she comforted the disappointed baker.
The tent was thrown into further chaos when midwife Illiyin collapsed as the showstopper challenge finished and had to be put in the recovery position by medics.
Time up was declared before the bakers were set to show their showstopper, but she was heard saying: ‘I just feel a bit dizzy.’
As she began to swoon while the showstoppers were being judged, Paul yelled: ‘What the hell is going on?’
‘Are you all right?’ Prue gasped, as Illiyin collapsed to the floor, with medics rushing over.
And just minutes later, the bakers were stunned after hearing a huge thud, turning to find retail temp Dylan had fallen off his stool and onto the floor.
Scared he had also fainted, the host checked he was ok before Dylan confirmed he had fallen off his chair trying to pick up his water bottle.
