The Great British Bake Off has always been a safe haven for good old fashioned British smut.
On Week 3 of the Channel 4 baking compeition, 'Bread Week', contestant Julia Chernogorova made quite the splash with her 'showstopper'.

Even Julia knew trouble was brewing.
I'm making a snail. It just looks inappropriate.

The end result was equally scandalous - like something from Channel 4 in the 1990s, not Channel 4 in the 2010s.

When Julia presented it to the judges:
Paul and Prue weren't alone in finding this brilliant. Sandi Toksvig, eyebrows raised asked:
Is there something about the shape of the snail?

And viewers were equally delighted that Bake Off's sexual subplot was receiving air time.
Naturally official Bake Off account had some great takes on proceedings.
The snail wang story had a happy ending - Julia won star baker!
