Alison Hammond Swears at Gabby Logan During Celebrity Bake Off
Celebrity Bake Off viewers were left baffled after Alison Hammond appeared to swear as contestant Gabby Logan. The Channel 4 competition returned with four new celebrities facing off against one another in the Bake Off tent in order to raise funds for Stand Up To Cancer.
Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding Welcome the Celebrities
Hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding welcomed stars Oti Mabuse, Gabby Logan, David O’Doherty, and Suzi Ruffell who made ice cream rolls, a kids’ party favorite, and their biggest fear in meringue form. Gabby was named Star Baker, while David had an impressive redemption after his first cake was given the unenviable description of ‘revolting’ by Prue Leith.
Controversy Surrounding Alison’s Alleged Swearing Incident
Viewers were all talking about one moment from the show when Alison appeared to swear at Gabby when her meringue was falling apart. Taking to Twitter, one viewer asked: “Did Alison tell a contestant to get her ‘st together’? Another wrote: “Did @AlisonHammond just tell #Gabby to get that sh*t together???” A third penned: “Did Alison just [say] get your st together and you will be ok?”
The Naming Controversy: Ice Cream Roll vs. Arctic Roll
Also in the episode, the show’s judges appeared to completely rename a classic dish. This Morning star Alison confirmed that the Bakers would be required to create an “ice cream roll”. Whilst the texture of the ice cream roll had to all be the same, the four stars were allowed to get creative with flavor and decoration. But fans could not help but be left puzzled by the naming of the dish as ice cream roll.
The Departure of Prue from the Show
The official Stand Up To Cancer social media account even joined in as they asked fans which name they referred to it as with Arctic roll appearing to come out on top. This current series of Celebrity Bake Off is the final one to star Prue after the 83-year-old quit the program.
