'Bread Week' on GBBOÂ is always a good one for many reasons but we didn't expect things to get as out of hand so early in the season as they did last night. But then again, this is Channel 4 we're watching now.
With a 'Technical Challenge' that involved fingering dough and a showstopper snail that looked, eh, "rather interesting", no one could keep themselves together. Not even Paul Hollywood.
There’s just something about snails that gives us the willies. #GBBO #BreadWeek @BritishBakeOff pic.twitter.com/xwzlAcMQSe

None of it went over the heads of viewers, who doubled down on the ridiculousness on Twitter.

I sometimes wonder how Bake Off can up their innuendo game even further and yet they still do it #GBBO pic.twitter.com/q5pvag3BXd
