‘What is this sorcery?!’: GBBO viewers can’t believe Noel Fielding is 47 after he reveals his age during challenge

Bake Off viewers were stunned to learn Noel Fielding’s age on Tuesday night. 

The host and Matt Lucas were delivering the show-stopper brief when they reminisced about the eighties. 

The pair referenced children’s show Emu’s All Live Pink Windmill and did a dance, but some of the contestants looked bemused with Noel telling them only ‘over 45s would get it, under 45s stick with TikTok‘.

Fans then took to Twitter in their droves after realising the Mighty Boosh is 47 – making him older than Little Britain star Matt, 46. 

One viewer wrote: ‘I never knew Noel Fielding was 47. I always assumed mid 30s.’ 

Another added: ‘Just found out Noel Fielding is 47 and I am truly shook’, while a different fan typed: ‘Me and @stoghz just discovered that Paul Hollywood is 7 years older than Noel Fielding but mostly, Noel Fielding is 47.’

Another fan wrote: ‘I’m sorry. Noel Fielding is 47?! What is this sorcery. He’s a vampire… surely.’

During the show, Lottie Bedlow became the latest contestant to be eliminated. 

The pantomime producer, 31, failed to impress the judges with her ice cream cake showstopper on one of the the hottest days of the year after the show was pre-recorded over the summer.  

With the judges calling her bake ‘underwhelming’ and ‘terrible’, Lottie was left both ‘relived’ and ‘gutted’ over her exit from the tent.

Tuesday’s episode followed an 80s theme which saw the contestants tasked with creating quiches, custard and jam finger doughnuts and an ice cream cake showstopper.

Yet Lottie’s ambitious plans for a chocolate mixtape-shaped ice cream cake was thwarted due to the heat in the tent on one of the hottest days of the year.  

Judge Paul Hollywood warned the contestant over her creation, yet Lottie decided to pursue with her showstopper which didn’t freeze in time and was left melting on the table. 

During the judging feedback, Paul said he was ‘very underwhelmed’ over the ice cream cake.

And things didn’t get better during the tasting section, where he commented: ‘It looks terrible, I think if it had tasted good. I’m just getting nothing from it at all, it’s a shame.’ 

The Great British Bake Off continues next Tuesday on Channel 4 at 8pm.
