BANNED FROM BAKE OFF FOR PLOPPING IN PAVLOVA
CAKE whizz Muriel Fox says she’s been BANNED from Bake Off because she once sabotaged a love rival’s raspberry pavlova – by SHITTING in it at a village fete.
Muriel, 76, said she’s applied to be on every series of The Great British Bake Off since it hit TV screens in 2010 but has repeatedly got the brush- off by producers.
And the gran- of- four is convinced it’s because of an incident at a fete near her home in Crewe, Cheshire, back in 2002.
Tart
Muriel told Sunday Sport: “Back then, my Frank was having it off with some posh tart from Nantwich.
“I saw to her, though. At the church fete, I did a poo in her pavlova, just before the vicar came to judge desserts.
“Needless to say, she was disqualified and I won with my lemon drizzle cake.
“Sadly, they later found out it was me and there was hell to pay.
“I became notorious in cake- baking circles as the pavlova shitter.
“And I’m sure it’s the memory of that in the whole baking community that’s keeping me off the telly programme.
“But it was 16 years ago, for Christ’s sake. Frank’s dead now and there’s a lot of water under the bridge.
“If they let me on, I solemnly promise not to shit in anyone’s cake.”
Last night a source at Bake Off said: “We are aware of Pavlovagate, as it’s known in the baking community, but that played no part in our decision.
“We’re not letting her on because, between us, she’s a bit racist… and this is Channel 4 after all. ”
