Ladbrokes has actually stopped banking on BBC reveal the Great British Bake Off after a flurry of wagers stimulated fears the winner's name may have been dripped.

"A run of bets" was positioned for one contestant, numerous at shops in the Ipswich area, the bookie stated.

It is not understood which baker prompted the flurry or whether any entrants have connections with the Suffolk town.

The first episode of the popular amateur baking contest aired on BBC One Wednesday evening.

It is the 6th series of the show, which challenges 12 hopefuls to impress judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.

Every week the amateur bakers are anticipated to tackle a baking difficulty, with minimal instructions, and present a "signature meal".

'Soggy bottom'

The bookmaker said a flurry of bets came in for among the 12 participants whose chances began at 12/1 and were decreased to 6/1, 3/1 and then evens.

"We provided costs on Monday and, nearly before the yohaig code ink was dry, an uncommon number of punters were in a rush to back just one entrant," David Williams of Ladbrokes said.

"On Tuesday and Wednesday it was more of the exact same one-way traffic. That was enough to set our alarm bells ringing and, as a preventative measure, we suspended our wagering.

"Hopefully, we'll return up with modified odds earlier instead of later on, but we didn't want to get caught with our down and a soaked bottom, so we've chosen to kick back up until we are reassured that Bake Off hasn't gone off currently.

"When you see a run of bets like this promotion code for one participant at the cost of everybody else that can be a sign to suspend wagering for a bit to assess the scenario," he added.

Several of the bets positioned were the maximum the bookmaker would consider wagers made on the program's outcome, and 90% were put on one candidate.

The suspension would not impact bets already placed, the business said.

The very first contestant to be knocked out of the competitors on Wednesday evening was Stuart Henshall from Surrey.

The 11 staying candidates are from Berkshire, Lancashire, Cambridgeshire, London, West Yorkshire, Manchester, Essex, Swansea and two from Perthshire.
