The Great British Bake Off shocked viewers in its second episode of the season – with one contestant fainting and one quitting after starting to feel unwell.
Norwich’s Illiyin Morrison, 31, was the one to faint during the episode’s final showstopper round, creating an edible biscuit puppet theatre.
It came at the very end of the challenge as time was called and she collapsed to the ground.

Back-up and feeling better she added: “handshake first episode, fainted in the second.”
Presenter Noel Fielding took her place as he presented her bake while she was looked after by medics.
The midwife and published author from Norwich previously wowed the judges in the first episode becoming the first of the season to achieve a famous handshake for her “beautiful” cinnamon cake.
