Ladbrokes has stopped banking on BBC show the Great British Bake Off after a flurry of fears the winner's name might have been dripped.

"A run of bets" was positioned for one candidate, numerous at stores in the Ipswich area, the yohaig code bookie stated.

It is not known which baker prompted the flurry or whether any candidates 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 program, which challenges 12 hopefuls to impress judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.

Each week the amateur bakers are expected to deal with a baking difficulty, with minimal directions, and provide a "signature dish".

'Soggy bottom'

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

"We provided costs on Monday and, practically before the ink was dry, an uncommon number of punters were in a rush to back only one entrant," David Williams of Ladbrokes stated.

"On Tuesday and Wednesday it was more of the very same one-way traffic. That was enough to set our alarm bells sounding and, as a safety measure, we suspended our betting.

"Hopefully, we'll return up with modified chances faster instead of later, but we didn't wish to get caught with our trousers pulled down and a soggy bottom, so we've chosen to relax until we are assured that Bake Off hasn't gone off currently.

"When you see a run of bets like this for one contestant at the expenditure of everyone else that can be an indication to suspend betting for a bit to evaluate the yohaig code scenario," he added.

Several of the bets put were the optimum the bookie would take for wagers made on the show's result, and 90% were put on one candidate.

The suspension would not impact bets currently put, the business stated.

The first contestant to be knocked out of the competition on Wednesday night was Stuart Henshall from Surrey.

The 11 staying participants are from Berkshire, Lancashire, Cambridgeshire, London, West Yorkshire, Manchester, Essex, Swansea and 2 from Perthshire.
