Bake Off: The Professionals fans took to social media on Tuesday night to discuss judge Benoit Blin’s new look in the latest episode of the weekly Channel Four series.
The judge is normally seen in suits, as he and co-judge Cherish Patissier try the latest desserts from baking professionals each week.
However, Benoit’s outfit was very different during the latest instalment wearing a fitted leather jacket with a jumper and jeans.
Host Tom Allen asked one of the pairs in the competition, “What do you think of Benoit’s jacket? It’s quite fitted isn’t it? Geanina, do you think Benoit looks quite sexy?’
Geanina, who is competing on the competition with her husband George replied, “My husband is very sexy.”
Benoit’s outfit proved popular with fans and was a topic of conversation throughout the show and on social media.
Fans took to Twitter to share bakery inspired puns with one saying, “Benoit came dressed as Sieve McQueen tonight.”
The official Bake Off Twitter shared a photo of pop group Duran Duran in similar outfits, with the caption, “Is there something you should dough?”
“We’re proud to report Benoit’s audition for Duran Duran has been successful. Welcome to the band!”
Fans replied with more Duran Duran bakery inspired puns, including “a view to a filled doughnut” and “Union of the bake”.
There were also comparisons to the T-Birds from Grease, with one fan adding that they were “here for this Benoit content.”
During the show, Benoit said to contestant Kevin, “I can see you’re looking at my jacket with envy.”
Kevin replied: “I was actually quite impressed. I was wondering if you had your Harley [Davidson] parked outside,” to which Benoit smiled and replied, “I wish.”
However, it seems that the outfit was for this week only, which saw the contestants creating deserts inspired by the seventies.
Presenter Tom compared Benoit’s new look to that of a famous TV crime fighting duo.
“Benoit, great jacket by the way,” said Tom.
“You look like you’ve just stepped out of Starksy and Hutch or something.”
This week’s episode saw the five remaining teams compete for a place in the semi-finals, creating desserts including black forest gateaux and mini roulades, culminating in a disco inspired show stopper challenge.
