Why did viewers think Paul Hollywood is gay?
Fans were led to believe Paul Hollywood could be gay after Matt Lucas said to him: “And you call yourself a gay man”. It came after Paul said he had never been to any shows in the West End.
The moment took place when they were both looking at baker Laura’s West End cake for the showstopper challenge. However it seems like Matt was making a joke about Paul.
Just before the showstopper challenge, bakers were asked to make rainbow bagels. This is when Paul Hollywood referred to them as “NHS bagels”, however this sparked backlash from several viewers.
One viewer said: “Paul Hollywood let down the gays this week. Paul, you can’t get more gay than a bagel, never mind a rainbow bagel.”
