Channel 4 Great British Bake Off viewers livid after spotting 'evil' move by Prue Leith

The Great British Bake Off viewers were left raging after noticing an 'evil' move from Dame Prue Leith in the latest episode.

The hit show airs on Channel 4 every Tuesday night, as the amateur bakers returned to the tent to focus on desserts. The fifth episode of the show saw the remaining contestants tasked with baking eight signature steamed puddings, a lemon meringue pie technical challenge and a mousse-based desert showstopper.

After failing to impress Prue and Paul Hollywood during dessert week, it was unfortunately supermarket cashier Carole who got the boot.

Carole, 59, from Dorset, left the show after her ginger and plum steamed puddings and disappointing technical left the judges disappointed, reports Manchester Evening News.The first challenge saw the bakers create eight signature steamed puddings, served with an accompaniment of their choice, of which Paul, 56, warned the contestants: "The beauty of steamed puddings is the moisture, so the last thing you want to see is a dry sponge." In the technical challenge, the contestants were tasked with making a lemon meringue pie.The challenge was set by Prue, 82, who told the contestants: "This is my favourite pud so please read the recipe very carefully." And last but by no means least, the showstopper saw the amateur bakers asked to create "a visually spectacular mousse-based desert with a surprise inside", which also needed at least another three dessert-based elements, one of which had to be baked.But it was the technical challenge that caused outrage as, despite Prue warning the bakers to read the recipe carefully, there wasn't actually much for them to read.
