The X-rated joke that left The Great Australian Bake Off judges speechless
A cook may have broken The Great Australian Bake Off’s PG rating with a crude joke.
71-year-old Dennis Mews, one of the contestants on the baking competition, has left judges and fellow amateur bakers in shock with his quip on Thursday night’s episode.
The Melbourne man was presenting his edible biscuit box to judges Maggie Beer and Matt Moran when he explained why he was satisfied with his creation.
“I’m very pleased I got to construct it without it collapsing,” Mews said. “If I may say, my last two erections have been a big disappointment.”
Silence ensued before Beer broke out in laughter, while Moran became visibly horrified before also cracking up.
“Sorry, we’re gonna need a cup of tea for Maggie,” host Mel Buttle offered. “Maggie, talk about Dennis’ erection please.”

However, Mews’ wisecracking could not save him from elimination as he became the third person to leave the competition this season.
Moran said Mews would “go down as having said one of the funniest things on TV”.
