Great British Bake Off sparks more complaints
Now, according to The Sun, Little Britain star Matt left viewers complaining over his cheeky comments.
He made a quip to contestant Linda Rayfield as she struggled to increase the size of her dough.
The comedian told her: “Maybe if you stroke it it will get a bit bigger.”
Linda replied: “It might do, generally works.”
In addition, Matt later joked that fellow judge Prue Leith had a “Pruegasm” after tasting contestant Hermine’s chocolate cake.
Matt joked: “So we call it a Pruegasm.”
Maybe if you stroke it it will get a bit bigger.
Many viewers were amused by Matt’s remarks, however, some people weren’t impressed.
After watching the show, 15 viewers complained to the TV watchdog over the innuendos, The Sun reports.
Meanwhile, viewers also shared their outrage on Twitter.
What did Bake Off viewers say?
One person said: “Matt Lucas is disgusting. I am so tired of him making sexual jokes out of everything!”
Another added: “Why do they need to have Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding on the show?
“They literally do nothing apart waste time with their poor jokes and cringy acting.”
