The Great British Bake Off's Alison Hammond told Paul Hollywood to "get out" after his facial expressions kept "putting her off" while filming the new series.
During an appearance on The One Show on Tuesday, September 29, Paul and new judge Nigella Lawson shared behind-the-scenes details about shooting the Channel 4 show. Nigella claimed Alison told her fellow judge to "get out because you're putting me off with those faces".
Paul and Nigella forced to leave the tent
Paul admitted that the This Morning host "couldn't look at us" during filming, with him, Nigella and Noel Fielding forced to "sit outside the tent" as she attempted to deliver her lines.
The duo revealed they have been getting into trouble with more than just Alison. Paul explained: "Occasionally, Nigella will say something or Alison [Hammond] or Noel [Fielding] will say something or one of the bakers will say something.
"And we get the giggles and floor manager Mandy, who you may know, will just say 'get out' and we have to walk out of the tent for five minutes."
Nigella on getting the giggles
Nigella confessed: "It's so awful because you get in a panic and then I get the giggles and I was trying to hold it in.
"It does happen, I did feel bad but you know how it is, you try not to get the giggles and when it matters, you get frightened about it."
This evening marks biscuit week, with contestants challenged to produce an American-style cookie for the signature bake, before recreating a "nostalgic classic" during the technical round. Attention then turned to the showstopper, where bakers were required to craft a "visually striking biscuit mosaic", putting both their creative abilities and baking skills to the test.
Great British Bake Off continues every Tuesday at 8pm on Channel 4.
