The Great British Bake Off was embroiled in scandal on Tuesday evening after the ‘worst ever’ technical challenge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The bakers were tasked with creating six orange and ginger treacle puddings with creme anglaise for a gruelling dessert week.<\/p>\n
But all seven remaining bakers appeared to run out of time, resulting in raw and undercooked bakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a series first, none of the bakers delivered a stand-out result and all appeared to fail, in what viewers dubbed a ‘car crash’.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Judge Paul Hollywood took one look at the bench before storming away, declaring: ‘That is disgusting.’<\/p>\n

Car crash: Tuesday night’s Great British Bake Off episode saw all bakers fail the technical challenge<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yuck:\u00a0The bakers were tasked with creating six orange and ginger treacle puddings with creme anglaise – with the result being a series of raw bakes<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Prue Leith said the results were the ‘worst thing’ she’d ever judged on the Channel 4 show.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some of the cakes would barely stay on the plate and were so raw that they ran off the side.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were then judges from ‘worst to least worst’ with Tasha winning the challenge for her ‘not as terrible but still pretty terrible’ cake.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paul said:\u00a0You let me down, you let yourselves down…consider yourselves roasted.’<\/p>\n
Alison Hammond\u00a0tried to lift the mood by arguing: ‘At least you’re all roughly on the same level…’\u00a0<\/p>\n
The episode ultimately saw Saku leave the tent and Dan win star baker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But viewers were left furious at what they saw as an ‘unfair’ challenge set up for disaster by the judges.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One said: ‘We had a good run of achievable technical challenges but then we arrived at this week and I’m furious all over again – give them enough time!! To do!! The challenge!!’<\/p>\n
Another noted that: ‘So every single person mucked up, but we’re STILL not gonna suggest that they’re not giving them enough time?’<\/p>\n
However, others enjoyed the chaos that had ensued, with one saying: ‘This technical is an absolute car crash and I’m here for it’.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Undercooked disaster:\u00a0Some of the cakes would barely stay on the plate and were so raw that they ran off the side<\/p>\n

Presentation: Tasha’s bake came out in a very interesting shape but went on to win first prize<\/p>\n
