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

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

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

Weekly the amateur bakers are expected to tackle a baking obstacle, with minimal guidelines, and present a "signature dish".

'Soggy bottom'

The bookmaker stated a flurry of bets came in for among the 12 participants whose chances started at 12/1 and were reduced to 6/1, 3/1 and after that evens.

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

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

"Hopefully, we'll return up with modified chances faster instead of later, but we didn't desire to get caught with our pants pulled down and a soaked bottom, so we have actually chosen to kick back up until we are assured that Bake Off hasn't gone off currently.

"When you see a run of bets like this for one entrant at the cost of everyone else that can be a sign to suspend betting for a bit to examine the situation," he added.

Several of the bets placed were the optimum the bookie would consider wagers made on the program's outcome, and 90% were put on one candidate.

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

The first contestant to be knocked out of the competition on Wednesday evening was Stuart Henshall from Surrey.

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