THE Grea British Bake Off comes back in dramatic fashion tonight as one contestant knocks a rival's cake onto the floor.

Pharmacy worker Sura, 31, from London breaks down in tears after she knocks her rival's cakes to the ground.

The first mini-challenge given to the 12 contestants is to bake six mini-cakes.

As Sura takes her completed cakes to the judging table she is pestered by a fly that she swats away saying, “go away, ugh.”

But that's when things get dramatic because as she turns around she collides with security guard Dave, 30, from Hampshire.

“I’m so sorry. Oh my god. I’m so sorry there was a fly, I went to shoo it away and I knocked it,” she cried.

Understandably, Sura bursts into tears while hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas rush over to help.

Two more catastrophes happen later in the Channel 4 cooking when show, one involving Sura again as her showstopper cake topples and project manager Mark Lutton drops a sponge.

A TV source told the Mirror: “In terms of incident and controversy it is right up there with anything that has happened on the show before. Whilst it is clear what Sura did was not deliberate, the series could not start in much more dramatic fashion.”

Sura took up baking in her 20s and confessed Prue was a huge inspiration for her taking up baking.

"I was looking forward to meeting Prue the most. I have watched her for many years on TV and I just loved her passion for food and flavours and her immense knowledge on it all," she said.

"She inspired a lot of my baking in my early 20s."

The Sun revealed the 11 competitors entered the famous tents back in July, where they cooked for judges Paul Hollywood, 54, and Prue Leith, 80, in a brand new location in Essex.

The show charged ahead despite fears it wouldn't return until 2021 owing to the coronavirus lockdown, as it wasn't included in Channel 4's autumn TV highlights.

However it was finally announced last week that Bake Off 2020 will kick off at 8pm on Tuesday September 22nd.
