If you are a fan of "The Great British Baking Off," known as "The Great British Baking Show" on Netflix, you will know that half the fun is the quips and double entendres traded between the hosts and the competitors.

The banter is just as good as the batter and keeps audiences glued to their seats as much as the exquisite confections created for their delight.

Half the fun, of course, is watching the risqué banter between the judges, who can sometimes be very naughty.

The competitors, all amateur bakers, face three challenges each week and are gradually eliminated until only one remains to be crowned as Britain's best amateur baker.
