This week budding bakers across the UK saw the return of The Great British Bake Off . From a Hollywood handshake to a technical challenge to all sorts of soggy bottoms - many were delighted to see the iconic show back on our screens. But you may be surprised to learn that it's been a whole decade since one of the most iconic moments in Bake Off history.
Yes, 10 years ago we saw Iain Watters' Baked Alaska get thrown into the bin. Dubbed "Bingate" by viewers, 2014 saw a lot of drama unfold in the tent when Diana Beard took her rival's Baked Alaska out of the freezer. Viewers were left horrified when his dessert started to melt on the workbench.
No matter what he tried, Iain just couldn't manage to save his Showstopper. "You've got your own freezer, haven't you?" Diana replied after Iain started comparing his dessert to "soup." It's a moment many of us will find it hard to forget.
Tasha Louise took to X, formerly known as Twitter , to celebrate the iconic TV anniversary. She posted a clip of the moment, as she couldn't believe it's been 10 years since it aired. It's since been viewed more than 70,000 times, and people were transported right back to "bingate".
Some were adament Iain "should not" have been sent home that week. One wrote: "The anger I still feel after all these years. Can't imagine how he feels!!" Another added: "Nope, still not over it.
" A third replied: "This still angers me." Meanwhile, a fourth also commented: "He should NOT have been sent home that week." Back.
