    • The Great British Bake Off has become famous for its saucy sayings - here's 10 of the best

    The Great British Bake Off has become famous for its saucy sayings – here’s 10 of the best.

    Are you as addicted to The Great British Bake Off as we are at goodtoknow? If you’re a fan, you can’t help but notice the large amount of innuendos on the show. Phrases like “soggy bottom” and “perfectly moist” are now part of the Bake Off lingo – there’s even an official Bake Off book called How to Avoid a Soggy Bottom. 

    Cheeky presenters Mel and Sue have a brilliant ability to say things like “keep an eye on your jugs” with a straight face. Judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry are just as bad. Mary Berry may be the queen of baking, but she’s responsible for some of the naughtiest remarks on the show, with comments like “there it is looking perfectly stiff”.

    It’s all part of what makes The Great British Bake Off so fun. Beautiful cakes and bakes, funny presenters and lots of saucy puns…no wonder everyone loves the Bake Off.

    Read on for our pick of the 10 best Bake Off innuendos…
