Sue Perkins and Bake Off contestants continue to crack innuendos as the bakers tackle bread week
81-year-old Great British Bake Off judge Mary Berry says she had to tell them to stop making crude jokes
THE Great British Bake Off innuendo-fest continued — as another baker was sent packing.
The ten remaining amateur bakers and host Sue Perkins made rude gag after rude gag, just a day after Mary Berry, 81, revealed she had to tell them all to stop.
Introducing the third episode of the popular BBC1 series, bread week, Sue made a crude joke about judge Paul Hollywood, 50, inspecting their bakes with his fingers.
She said: “This is your chance to get your dough prodded by Paul Hollywood’s digits of doom.”
And the ten remaining amateurs - cut to nine after politics student Michael Georgiou, 20, was sent home - also joined in the act.
For the first task bakers had to make a chocolate bread, which saw PE teacher Candice crack a saucy joke.
As she rolled chocolate into a small chunk of dough, she said: “No-one likes a small under-filled ball.”
And University support worker Rav also quipped of his loaf: “It’s small, but I’m hoping for a good rise on it.”
As unsuccessful baker Michael worked flavours into the dough with his fingers, Sue said: “This is one of the most manually-explored bakes I’ve ever seen.”
For the second task, in which bakers had to make German soft buns dampfnudel, which look like small steamed dumplings, Sue carried on her tirade of jokes.
As nurse Kate prepared to steam the small bakes, Sue asked: “Kate! How are your balls?”
On Monday, when Mary was asked about the jokes in the tent — including her own “I’d like to eat some carpet” gag last week — she said: “I honestly don’t notice them as I am concentrating on the bakes and on the results.
“I just have to say, ‘Oh for goodness sakes behave yourselves’. I have not noticed them this year. Other people do.”
