Ladbrokes has actually halted wagering on BBC reveal the Great British Bake Off after a flurry of wagers stimulated worries the winner's name may have been dripped.

"A run of bets" was put for one contestant, many at stores in the Ipswich location, the bookie said.

It is not understood which baker prompted the flurry or whether any contestants have connections with the Suffolk town.

The very first episode of the popular amateur baking contest aired on BBC One Wednesday evening.

It is the yohaig code sixth series of the show, which challenges 12 hopefuls to impress judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.

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

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

"Hopefully, we'll return up with modified chances quicker rather than later on, but we didn't want to get caught with our trousers took down and a soggy bottom, so we have actually chosen to take a breather until we are assured that Bake Off hasn't gone off currently.

"When you see a run of bets like this promotion code for one candidate at the cost of everyone else that can be a sign to suspend wagering for a bit to evaluate the scenario," he included.

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

The suspension would not affect bets currently placed, the company stated.

The very 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 two from Perthshire.
