The famously hot-headed Gordon Ramsay is not someone you want to pick a fight with - and Great British Bake Off host Noel Fielding quickly realised he'd put his foot in it during this week's episode.
It's been a chaotic season of Bake Off so far. We've already seen one hopeful baker dramatically exit the beloved Channel 4 competition along with two contestants collapsing and the latest drama sees host Noel Fielding risking igniting a feud with Gordon Ramsay after a brutal dig on the TV show.
Last night's episode saw the remaining contestants try their hand at Bread Week - which also saw Paul Hollywood break a major rule.

However, the 20-year-old retail assistant also found himself in the middle of the drama after Noel praised him for his good looks.
The compliment wasn't said in isolation, though, as the host went on to claim Dylan was simply 'too handsome' to be a chef before taking a direct swipe at the Hell's Kitchen star.
"Have you seen Gordon Ramsay?" Noel hit out. "He’s like an omelette with human eyes!"
Ouch.
Clearly clocking his faux pas, Noel then urged producers: "Don’t put that in the show because he’ll beat me up… I am scared of Gordon Ramsay."
There's already a bit of history between Gordon and the beloved Channel 4 programme after he passed off the opportunity to be on the judging panel.
He said 'no' to Mary Berry's role when she departed from Bake Off back in 2016.
And the reason? Well, he simply didn't want her 'sloppy seconds'.
And that's not the only Bake Off beef Noel has seemingly had as ex-host Sandi Toksvig gave an incredibly blunt reason for why she really quit the show.
In a new interview with The Times, she revealed she’s not really in touch with anyone from the hit series other than judge Prue Leith, admitting with a 'sigh' that her time as Bake Off host had been 'three of the longest years of [her] life'.
When asked if she was still friends with the team, Sandi replied: "Prue and I are joined at the hip."
As for Paul?
"Not so much. He’s so busy. He drives cars so fast it’s impossible to catch him."
And Fielding? The presenter responded: "No."
She continued: "It’s not for me. I walked away from the biggest paycheque of my life, but that’s fine.
"I’d never watched it. I still haven’t watched it. I didn’t understand it. Cakes are readily available in the shops. I didn’t enjoy the process."
The Great British Bake Off returns to Channel 4 on Tuesday next week at 8pm.
