Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood has faced backlash after Moyin’s Showstopper spectacularly crashed onto the floor.
The baker had spent four hours making his creation for this week’s challenge, which saw contestants tasked with making a “wearable bake”.
The public had set the challenge during Audience Choice week, with the bakers asked to turn fashion items into edible creations.

Moyin opted for an elaborate Lambeth Top Hat cake, which he presented on a mannequin for Paul and Nigella Lawson to judge.
However, just seconds after Paul cut into it, the cake slipped from the mannequin’s head and crashed upside down onto the floor.
The room gasped as Nigella jumped backwards to avoid being covered in icing.
Paul’s reaction to the mishap has since left viewers furious.
Moyin’s cake falls on floor in The Great British Bake Off
Earlier in the episode, Paul had given Moyin his first Hollywood Handshake of the series for his Basque Cheesecake.
The judge was far less impressed by his Showstopper, though.
Moyin had made a pale green and pink hat, which he decorated with raspberries.
Paul told him: “My issue is, it just looks like a cake.” Nigella agreed, saying: “I absolutely agree, however, it is the most beautiful cake.”
Paul then took a large knife to Moyin’s Showstopper while it remained on the mannequin’s head.
He told the baker: “That wasn’t the brief. But let’s take a look, shall we?”
