Great British Bake Off issues warning for 'scary' Halloween special

22.10.2024 - 21:51 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

A Great British Bake Off Halloween special has been served up with a trigger warning for its spooky content, despite being a Channel 4 family show that airs before the 9pm watershed.

The online episode from the show's first-ever Halloween Week in 2022 was initially flagged as "isn't suitable for younger viewers" with a red "Guidance" icon on the app and website, according to The Sun.

However, this cautionary note has since been removed. The sixth episode of the series featured hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas in Halloween costumes, with the set decorated with festive balloons, skeletons, and spider webs.

Contestants, including winner Syabira Yusoff, were seen making apple and pumpkin treats for judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood.

"The Saddest Thing...": England Great Tears Apart Bazball After Pakistan Series Defeat

Former England cricketer Geoffrey Boycott has slammed the England cricket team batters, labelling them "flat track bullies", as they slumped to a 2-1 series defeat against Pakistan. After winning the first Test in Multan, England lost the second and third Test, exposing a glaring weakness against spin bowling. All 40 English wickets across the second and third Tests were taken by spinners, with Sajid Khan and Noman Ali combining for a total of 39 wickets.
