Those unfamiliar with the BBC's much-loved baking contest could be forgiven for thinking it's all about pastries and Victoria sponges. But think again, Great British Bake Off newbies, for it's the cheeky innuendos that are the cherries on most viewers' cakes.

It's not just Mary of course. Presenters Mel and Sue are brimming over with dirty jokes, while co-judge Paul Hollywood can rarely conceal his knowing smirk.
