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

"A run of bets" was positioned for one entrant, numerous at stores in the Ipswich area, the bookmaker said.

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

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

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 expected to take on a baking challenge, with very little directions, and provide a "signature dish".

"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 preventative measure, we suspended our betting.

"Hopefully, we'll return up with modified odds sooner rather than later, however we didn't wish to get caught with our pants took down and a soaked bottom, so we've decided to relax up until we are reassured that Bake Off hasn't gone off already.

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