Great British Bake Off sees baker DROP cake at crucial moment as tent descends into more chaos

VIEWERS watching Bake Off this week will be left open-mouthed after seeing one struggling contestant drop his cake shortly before it was meant to be presented to judges.

The upcoming episode of GBBO will see all the bakers asked to whip up a vegetable cake as a showstopper.

Their creations have to be themed around an autumnal holiday, such as Bonfire night or Halloween.

Halfway through the race to make the perfect cake, Dylan suddenly drops his, in a move that will surely go down as one of the most tragic blunders in Bake Off history.

In an exclusive clip provided to the Sun, the 20-year-old retail worker could be seen heading over to the fridge where he planned to cool the sponge layers of his dessert.

However, he was soon left horrified when one wrong move saw a sponge cake sail off his plate.

Perhaps out of instinct from childhood games of football, Dylan attempted to rescue it by raising his foot to kick it.

Sadly he missed, and the sponge smashed into the ground.

He could be heard exclaiming in shock before adding "That's so annoying" when he realised it was too late to save his creation.

The incident forced the baker to go back to square one and put a fresh batch of batter in the oven.

At one point Noel Fielding came to check in on the disheartened baker.

The concerned Bake Off host asked: "Dylan, what's gone down?"

Dylan sounded crestfallen as he responded: "I just threw my cake on the floor."

Despite the mishap, he seemed hopeful that he would be able to make a fresh layer of sponge, adding: "I've got more batter in the fridge."

Noel joked "I mean...no panics," after grimacing and pointing at the destroyed confectionary.

This comes after the Channel 4 show was plagued with a series of disasters earlier in October that saw two contestants collapse on the floor while filming.

Illiyn seemed to suffer from a fainting spell after trying to race against the clock to bake while sick.

Then later on Dylan also hit the floor with a thud as the judges were deliberating over their scores.

However, the embarrassed baker admitted he'd just been reaching for his water and instead headed for a flier.
