"A run of bets" was placed for one entrant, many at shops in the Ipswich area, the bookmaker said.

It is not known which baker triggered the flurry or whether any contestants have connections with the Suffolk town.

The very first episode of the popular amateur baking contest aired on BBC One Wednesday night.

Weekly the yohaig code amateur bakers are anticipated to take on a baking challenge, with minimal guidelines, and present a "signature dish".

the yohaig code bookmaker stated a flurry of bets came in for among the 12 entrants whose odds began at 12/1 and were decreased to 6/1, 3/1 and after that evens.

"We provided costs on Monday and, nearly before the ink was dry, an unusual variety of punters were in a rush to back only one candidate," David Williams of Ladbrokes stated.

"On Tuesday and Wednesday it was more of the same one-way traffic. That sufficed to set our alarm bells ringing and, as a preventative measure, we suspended our wagering.

"Hopefully, we'll go back up with revised chances sooner rather than later, but we didn't want to get caught with our pants pulled down and a soaked bottom, so we have actually decided to take a breather until we are assured that Bake Off hasn't gone off already.

"When you see a run of bets like this promotion code for one candidate at the expenditure of everyone else that can be a sign to suspend betting for a bit to evaluate the yohaig code scenario," he added.

Several of the bets placed were the maximum the bookie would consider wagers made on the program's outcome, and 90% were put on one participant.

The suspension would not affect bets already put, the yohaig code company said.

The first candidate to be knocked out of the competitors on Wednesday night was Stuart Henshall from Surrey.

The 11 staying contestants are from Berkshire, Lancashire, Cambridgeshire, London, West Yorkshire, Manchester, Essex, Swansea and two from Perthshire.
