Celebrity Bake Off Episode Sparks Outrage Over 'Repulsive' Alien Pie

The latest episode of The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer featured a memorable pie, leading to a flurry of reactions on social media. Contestants included Meera Syal, Tommy Tiernan, Adam Buxton, and Rebecca Lucy Taylor, who each created pies inspired by their celebrity heroes. Notably, Adam Buxton's pie, intended as a tribute to Ridley Scott, portrayed a gruesome scene from Alien, with a banana resembling an alien bursting from the pie's center. Despite the pie collapsing during presentation, the judges found humor in the mishap and praised its taste. Viewers on X, formerly Twitter, expressed their shock and disgust, calling it one of the most repulsive creations seen on the show. Meera Syal was named Star Baker for her efforts in the episode.
