Things are heating up in the GBBO 2023 tent, but host Noel Fielding is making some viewers’ blood boil.
The comedian joined the Great British Bake Off in 2017 when it moved over to Channel 4.
Fans were initially resistant, with the show’s move seeing the departure of Bake Off legends Mary Berry, Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins.
However, along with his then-co-presenter Sandi Toksvig, regular Paul Hollywood, and newbie judge Prue Leith, the show soon picked up a loyal fan base.
The format stayed the same, with Noel going on to present the show alongside Matt Lucas after Sandi left and, from this season, Alison Hammond.
Now a Bake Off regular, viewers are used to his antics and quirks. However, after Tuesday’s outing (October 31), some are saying that the star needs to step away from the show.
GBBO 2023: Noel Fielding and his antics
The strong words came after the host went for laughs while talking to hopeful baker Saku. Noel asked Saku if she thought he could hit a saucepan across tent with a lemon. He then threw the lemon from her the work station only to break a light and distract the bakers.
One onlooker posted on X, formerly Twitter: “Noel’s antics on #gbbo are not funny. He doesn’t belong on this show. Time for change.”
Sharing an image of Noel throwing the Lemon, another said: “Noel is an actual menace #GBBO.”
The insults kept coming as one social media user added: “Thank god for Alison because if I were one of those poor bakers stressing out and crying while Noel just breaks [bleep] and does Yoda impressions, I think I’d hit him #GBBO.”
