BAKE Off fans have been left baffled by Paul Hollywood's 'rude' remark about a contestant's age.
Tuesdays edition of Bake Off saw the contestants tackle Dessert Week.
As usual, Paul, 56, and fellow judge Prue Leith, 82, made their way around the tent to find out what the bakers were making.
As they approached Dawn, 60, Paul said: "Morning mum, erm, Dawn!"
He added: "You do remind me a little bit of my mum…"
But Dawn was quick to point out: "I'm not that much older than you!"

Another added: "Lol Dawn is 60 and Paul is 56 #Mum #GBBO."
A third tweeted: "Dawn is four years older than Paul #GBBO…"
