Great British Bake Off fans outraged as Candice calls Mary Berry a 'TART'
GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF fans were less than impressed with one particular baker this week as they appeared to mock Mary Berry.
Viewers were shocked when Candice appeared to call Mary a tart

Candice Brown was talking to the 81-year-old judge about her citrus meringue in the first round of last night's episode when she called her a "tart".
The baker opted to make a lime, lemon and coconut pie with green swirls on the top.
And while Paul Hollywood was far from impressed by her signature dish, Mary praised it, commenting: "The curd itself is actually a very good flavour."
Candice thanked her: "Thank you… tart."

Mary had complimented the curd on Candice's meringue
Viewers were outraged that she appeared to have called the veteran judge a "tart", with many taking to social media to brand her as "rude".
One user tweeted: "Did Candice just call Mary Berry a tart? #GBBO."
While another shared: "Mary Berry on Candice's citrus meringue: 'The actual curd is very good.' Candice: 'Tart.' There's no need for that #GBBO."
"Candice just called Mary Berry a tart. Send her to the Tower #GBBO," a third wrote outraged.
Viewers slammed the baker on social media
Candice 's nude lipstick was also a talking point on last night's episode
Someone else added: "'Thank you… tart.' Well that was rude Candice #GBBO."
Candice was certainly the talking point on the Bake Off, with many viewers also commenting on her lack of lipstick, which has proved popular over the past few weeks.
The frontrunner appeared to have opted for a nude lip colour instead of her usual bold choices.
Great British Bake Off airs Wednesdays at 8pm on BBC One.
