The Great British Bake Off shocked viewers in its second episode of the season – with one contestant fainting and one quitting after starting to feel unwell.

Norwich’s Illiyin Morrison, 31, was the one to faint during the episode’s final showstopper round, creating an edible biscuit puppet theatre.

Back-up and feeling better she added: “handshake first episode, fainted in the second.”
