Bake Off viewers horrified as Jurgen serves judges food from the floor

He consistently wows the Bake Off judges with his stunning showstoppers and flawless signatures.  

But star baker Jürgen Krauss horrified viewers on Tuesday night when he sneakily served Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood sausage rolls that he’d dropped on the floor. 

The Black Forest native suffered the blunder when he attempted to turn his baking tray in the oven and instead sent his creation cascading onto the ground. 

Got away with it: Star baker Jürgen Krauss horrified viewers on Tuesday night when he sneakily served Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood sausage rolls that he’d dropped on the floor

Tasked with making vegan sausage rolls by the judges, Jurgen sidled over to the oven, and quietly explained: ‘I’m just turning the tray’. 

But his golden brown sausage rolls quickly hurtled towards the floor where they lay in a heap after they slid off the baking tray. 

‘This is bad,’ Jurgen said matter-of-factly as he looked at his food on the ground before picking it up and returning it to the tray.     

Deciding to still serve his food to the unsuspecting judges, Jurgen told the camera of the mishap: ‘You didn’t see it.’

Fans quickly rushed to Twitter to comment on the gaffe with one questioning in disbelief: ‘Did Jurgen just serve floor sausage rolls? Lol’ 

Meanwhile, another fumed: I think it’s out of order that Jurgen didn’t fess up over the food on the floor. Should’ve told the judges.’ 

Others praised his unphased attitude, writing: Jurgen is the level of calm I aspire to be.’

A panicked viewer added: ‘When Jürgen’s sausage rolls fell on the floor my whole life flashed before my eyes.’

But it was Lizzie that was sent home by the judges after failing to impress with her ice cream sandwiches. 

She opted for chocolate and vanilla sandwiches which the judges noted were good in flavour but messy.

Crystelle, Jurgen, Chigs and Giusseppe all made it through to next week’s semi-final and will return next week to fight to be in the final three.
