"A run of bets" was positioned for one contestant, lots of at stores in the Ipswich location, the bookmaker said.

It is not understood which baker prompted the flurry or whether any participants have connections with the Suffolk town.

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

It is the sixth series of the show, which challenges 12 hopefuls to impress judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.

Every week the amateur bakers are anticipated to tackle a baking obstacle, with minimal guidelines, and present a "signature dish".

The bookie said a flurry of bets came in for among the 12 participants whose odds began at 12/1 and were reduced to 6/1, 3/1 and then evens.

"We provided costs on Monday and, almost before the ink was dry, an unusual number of punters remained in a rush to back only one participant," David Williams of Ladbrokes said.

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

"Hopefully, we'll go back up with modified chances sooner rather than later on, however we didn't wish to get caught with our trousers pulled down and a soggy bottom, so we've decided to kick back up until we are assured that Bake Off hasn't gone off currently.

"When you see a run of bets like this promotion code for one participant at the expense of everybody else that can be an indication to suspend wagering for a bit to examine the circumstance," he included.

Several of the bets placed were the optimum the bookie would take for wagers made on the show's outcome, and 90% were placed on one contestant.

The suspension would not impact bets already placed, the company stated.

The very first contestant to be knocked out of the competition on Wednesday evening was Stuart Henshall from Surrey.

The 11 staying candidates are from Berkshire, Lancashire, Cambridgeshire, London, West Yorkshire, Manchester, Essex, Swansea and 2 from Perthshire.
