Great British Bake Off viewers left baffled by editing blunder
Did YOU spot it?

And in last night's episode of The Great British Bake Off (18th Sept), viewers were left scratching their heads after the show appeared to suffer from an editing fail, as it looked as though the ending of the show was being shown before viewers had seen the end of the challenge.
In the episode, which was Dessert Week, the contestants were challenged to first make a roulade and the blind bake challenge was to make blancmange and langues de chat biscuits. The signature bake then saw them create chocolate domes and hot sauce to melt the ball and reveal a delicious cake inside.
As Terry was poorly that week, all the contestants agreed that it would be ok for him to go through automatically, which meant that it was down to the remaining eight to prove their baking prowess.

Great British Bake Off viewers left baffled by editing blunder
2 of 13
Terry, 56
Terry used to work as a prosthetic technician, and owns a microbrewery and allotment. These all have a bearing on his baking, and his craftmanship is a testament to his background. His family taught him everything he knows about baking, with his dad teaching him to make bread and pastry from the age of just 10.
Meet this year's GBBO contestants...
Antony, 30
Antony describes himself as a 'Bollywood baker', and grew up in India which is where he learned to bake with his father - his baking inspiration. He's unafraid to try out new things and bakes 'unconventionally'. Antony once tasted 50 choux buns on a trip to Paris!
Briony, 33
Briony is a self-taught baker from Bristol who has been inspired by her Nan. She has used YouTube tutorials to learn specific techniques and has been seriously baking on 2013 - and describes herself as a 'whizz' with puff pastry.
Dan, 36
Dan describes himself as a perfectionist, and considers the way a bake looks to be one of the most important elements of baking. He is a full-time father-of-two, which makes home-baking an intrinsic part of his life.
Imelda, 33
Imelda is one of four from County Tyrone in Northern Ireland, learning to cook and bake from her mum. She spends a lot of her time baking soda breads and and biscuits for her father and son as well as cakes that she shares with her office.
Jon, 47

Karen, 60
Having lived in France for 15 years, Karen is a lover of baking and was inspired by the local patisserie - and is now a prolific maker of profiteroles, Religieuse buns, tartes au citron and even foot long eclairs.
Kim-Joy, 27
As Kim-Joy's birthday is World Baking Day, she is convinced that it's a sign she was born to bake. She was born in Belgium to an English father and a Malaysian–Chinese mother, grew up in London and studied in Bristol and Leeds before settling there with her partner. Kim-Joy's mixed-heritage background is a great source of inspiration for her baking, and her passion is bread.
Luke, 30
Luke has been baking since the tender age of 10, and is inspired by his travels through Europe and North America. His minimalistic and clutter-free attitude has a great bearing on his baking, and he prefers to create masterpieces that are clean and precise.
Manon, 26
Frenchwoman Manon learned to bake with her mum and grandmother, who always made everything from scratch. Although she was brought up in a French household, Manon found her passion for baking whilst living in London, and takes baking inspiration from both places.
Rahul, 30
Rahul grew up in Kolkata, moving to the UK at 23 for a university scholarship. As a research scientist, his instinct is to approach baking with a meticulous eye and is fascinated by the science of baking.
Ruby, 29
Ruby says her love of baking came from being the 'mother' of the group once she went to university. She grew up in an Indian family with three siblings, and describes her baking style as 'relaxed and boozy'.
Terry, 56

HOWEVER. During the showstopper reveals, there was a glitch where the programme showed presenter Sandi Toksvig head towards Rahul, leading many to believe that he'd won Star Baker once again.
In the same moment, Paul Hollywood appeared to be walking towards Karen and Briony - who both suffered disastrous weeks - which gave the impression one of them would be going home.
But this weird editing fail was just a glitch, because DAN was the recipient of that week's Star Baker, and Paul and Prue Leith decided that NO-ONE would go home as Terry hadn't been there - but warned TWO people could leave next week.
Viewers were baffled by the fail.
The Great British Bake Off returns Tuesday 25th Sept on Channel 4 at 8pm.
