Ladbrokes has actually halted betting on BBC reveal the Great British Bake Off after a flurry of wagers triggered worries the yohaig code winner's name might have been leaked.

"A run of bets" was positioned for one participant, many at shops in the Ipswich location, the bookie stated.

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

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

It is the 6th series of the show, which challenges 12 hopefuls to impress judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.

Every week the amateur bakers are anticipated to deal with a baking difficulty, with minimal instructions, and provide a "signature meal".

The bookmaker stated a flurry of bets came in for one of the 12 contestants whose chances began at 12/1 and were reduced to 6/1, 3/1 and then evens.

"We provided costs on Monday and, nearly before the ink was dry, an unusual variety of punters were in a rush to back only one participant," David Williams of Ladbrokes said.

"On Tuesday and Wednesday it was more of the very same one-way traffic. That was enough to set our alarm bells ringing and, as a precaution, we suspended our betting.

"Hopefully, we'll go back up with revised odds faster rather than later on, however we didn't want to get with our pants took down and a soaked bottom, so we've chosen to kick back up until we are reassured that Bake Off hasn't gone off already.

"When you see a run of bets like this promotion code for one participant at the expense of everybody else that can be a sign to suspend wagering for a bit to assess the situation," he added.

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

The suspension would not affect bets already put, the yohaig code business stated.

The very first entrant to be knocked out of the competition on Wednesday night was Stuart Henshall from Surrey.

The 11 remaining candidates are from Berkshire, Lancashire, Cambridgeshire, London, West Yorkshire, Manchester, Essex, Swansea and two from Perthshire.
