Great British Bake Off viewers vow to boycott show as next week’s theme is announced

GREAT British Bake Off fans have said they "might not be able to watch" next week's episode after the theme was announced.

The 13th series of The Great British Bake Off is well underway with 9 bakers left, all with hopes of being crowned Star Baker.

The Channel 4 show is known for its fun challenges, creativity and eccentric themes that change every week.

Each week the bakers will complete three challenges in line with the theme - a signature, a technical, and a showstopper.

At the end of the latest episode, in a teaser clip, it was revealed that next week is custard week.

The teaser video showed the bakers struggling to keep their creations together amid extremely hot weather in the Bake off tent.

Fans of the show were not happy after hearing the theme and took to Twitter to share how they felt.

One wrote: "Advance warning for next week's #GBBO: I really don't like custard. So next week I'll be going "urgh" a lot."

Another wrote: "Can't stand custard why did they pick this theme."

A third wrote: "Custard week, queue the heatwave that week."

While a fourth penned: "Next week's #GBBO is custard week, and I genuinely can't bear to see custard move... I might not be able to watch it."

This comes after Bake Off faced backlash recently over releasing their Halloween themed episode two weeks before Halloween. Viewers of the show were not happy about this.

Halloween week saw Dawn become the next baker to be eliminated from the tent.

Meanwhile fan favourite Syabira won star baker for the first time. Syabira baked in all three challenges and won a Hollywood handshake during the signature bake.

The Great British Bake Off airs Tuesdays at 8pm on Channel 4.
