Viewers of the Great British Bake Off have claimed they want a 'refund' after they expected drama before the second episode of the series aired. The hit Channel 4 show returned to screens last week with 12 new contestants vying for the title of Britain's best amateur baker.
And following the first elimination of the series last week, 11 bakers were back in the famous tent hoping to make it through three more of the judges challenges in Biscuit Week. Tuesday's episode (October 3) saw the bakers tackle a marshmallow biscuit signature round, a classic custard cream during the technical and an illusion challenge for the showstopper – where they had to make their favourite meal out of biscuits.
But before the latest trip to the tent was shown on screens, a sneak peek at the episode seemed to hint that chaos was in the cards as one contestant mischievously steals another's dough.

Cristy then headed over to the fridge before letting out a huge gasp and putting her hands to her face. With 'dough gate' expected, Bake Off viewers were actually disappointed to see the pair amicably resolve the issue, with Rowan appearing unfazed by the mishap before continuing on with his baking.
