Great British Bake Off 2017: Paul Hollywood orders THIS contestant to leave show
THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF last night saw Paul Hollywood warn one contestant that he would remove him from the iconic baking tent after an awkward dispute.
GBBO: Paul JOKES about kicking Liam off the show
The Channel 4 show is in its sixth week now, but fan-favourite Liam Charles could be about to be lose his place if celebrity baker Paul has anything to do with it.
The enormously popular series gave its bakers a tough challenge in the form of pastry in the latest gripping instalment, and the first task had the remaining contestants nervous about what lay ahead.
Adding to Liam’s nerves was Paul, 51, who queried his choice to make “Standard FC” decorative pies.
The offerings were made of sweet potato, feta and chorizo, and were inspired by his pastimes, including playing football on his games console.
Well if I do go you know why!
“What’s your team?” Paul asked after a cheeky pause, as Liam replied: “Manchester United.”
Seemingly unimpressed by the 19-year-old’s tastes, he then replied jokingly: “It’s such a shame you have to leave this week.”
Whooping in shock, Liam was temporarily derailed from the tasks on his tight schedule.
Turning to face the camera directly, he stated: “Well if I do go you know why!”
Pudding week set to cause drama in the Bake Off tent
Noel Fielding and Paul’s fellow judge Prue Leith started to laugh at the pair’s rivalry before Liam carried on with his baking.
Later, the male judge criticised the teenager’s efforts, by telling him that his pastry for “Nan’s Sunday Dinner pie” should be on the “outside, not the inside”.
While presenter Sandi Toksvig asked Paul “what his problem was”, Liam seemed to find the comments funny.
Great British Bake Off continues Tuesday at 8pm on Channel 4.
