A former Bake Off contestant has shared his "stressful" experiences from the tent, as well as a number of tense rules put in place by producers.
Dan Beasley-Harling, 40, appeared on Great British Bake Off in 2018 and managed to get three handshakes from Paul Hollywood, before before leaving in week six. But Dan revealed the much-loved baking show is in fact "incredibly stressful" and said contestants aren't allowed watches so they have no concept of time in the tent.
Dan said dawn until dusk filming schedules and complicated challenges sometimes even left him with stress rashes. He revealed producers would sometimes have to extend the length of time left for challenges if everyone was struggling to complete their bake.
