"A run of bets" was placed for one candidate, many at stores in the Ipswich area, the bookmaker stated.

It is not known which baker triggered the flurry or whether any entrants have connections with the Suffolk town.

The first episode of the popular amateur baking contest aired on BBC One Wednesday night.

It is the 6th series of the program, which 12 hopefuls to impress judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.

The bookmaker said a flurry of bets came in for one of the 12 entrants whose odds began at 12/1 and were decreased to 6/1, 3/1 and after that evens.

"We provided costs on Monday and, nearly before the ink was dry, an uncommon variety of punters remained in a rush to back only one candidate," David Williams of Ladbrokes stated.

"On Tuesday and Wednesday it was more of the same one-way traffic. That was enough to set our alarm bells ringing and, as a precaution, we suspended our wagering.

"Hopefully, we'll go back up with revised chances sooner rather than later, however we didn't wish to get captured with our trousers took down and a soggy bottom, so we have actually chosen to kick back until we are assured that Bake Off hasn't gone off already.

"When you see a run of bets like this for one candidate at the expense of everybody else that can be an indication to suspend betting for a bit to assess the situation," he added.

Several of the bets placed were the maximum the yohaig code bookie would consider wagers made on the yohaig code program's outcome, and 90% were put on one participant.

The suspension would not affect bets currently put, the yohaig code business said.

The first participant to be knocked out of the competitors on Wednesday evening was Stuart Henshall from Surrey.

The 11 staying candidates are from Berkshire, Lancashire, Cambridgeshire, London, West Yorkshire, Manchester, Essex, Swansea and two from Perthshire.
