Great British Bake Off favourite stuns Alison Hammond with awkward age comment

Great British Bake Off fan favourite Dylan stunned host Alison Hammond in an awkward exchange about her age.

The This Morning presenter told the baker “You’re so young” after he confessed to not knowing who comedy character Frank Spencer was.

The 20-year-old then said his parents were surprised Alison and co-host Noel Fielding are 50.

Alison replied: “I'm 49!”, to which Dylan replied: “So your average is 50.”

The This Morning presenter continued: “Do you know what? All it means is that I've been in the queue a little bit longer than you, Dylan.”
