'Great British Bake Off' Airs Prue's Most NSFW Joke To Date

Great British Bake Off was back for biscuit week last night, and we don't know if it was all the sugar in those florentines, but Prue Leith was feeling a little risqué.

Yep, during the Signature Challenge on Tuesday's show (29th September), 80-year-old Prue made a rather cheeky innuendo when chatting with Liverpool baker Mark Lutton about his Macadamia nut and Mango Florentines.

Can you see where this is going?!

"It looks a bit lumpy, too lumpy," a discerning Paul said at first, before Prue chipped in: "I remember worrying a bit about your very large nuts."

Well, I never!

Check out a video of all the week's best innuendo's below:

Northern Irish Mark, 31, clearly didn't know where to look after Prue's comments, blushing to himself.

One viewer tweeted: '#GBBO Prue worrying about the lads very large nuts...It's why we watch."

Meanwhile, another penned: "VERY LARGE NUTS Prue you saucy minx #GBBO".

A third joked: "It hasn't even started and, already, Prue's "Very large nuts" is Bake Off 2020's "buttery biscuit base". #GBBO #bangerz".

Prue is no stranger to an innuendo, like her predecessor, Mary Berry. In fact, it's basically a prerequisite if you want to be on the show

Examining biscuits during the technical challenge, she dropped another corker, joking: "That's one sort of squirt".

She could be seen bellowing at Rowan Williams, 55: "For goodness sake, finish!", as the ep went on.

It's no surprise Prue has a cheeky side, given she revealed in an interview recently that she'd once stumbled into an orgy in Paris, and stripped naked.

"I realised I would be less conspicuous if I took my clothes off, so I did. I tell you what, I did walk around," she said on LBC.

"I'd pretend I was going to the loo and then I'd pretend I was going to the bar and I did this for an hour or two and then my friend reappeared and we went home."

Looking back on her rather adventurous 20s, she laughed: "It's not a bad reputation to have at 80."
