Ofcom will not investigate The Great British Bake Off's "bingate" row after more than 800 viewers complained about the alleged sabotage of contestant Iain Watters' Baked Alaska
Diana Beard quit the show but insisted her departure was due to illness not the Watters incident.
Diana Beard has quit the Great British Bake Off following last night's dramatic ''Baked Alaska-gate" episode.
But the BBC insist her departure from the show is due to illness and not linked to what happened in episode four.
Viewers accused the 69-year-old of "sabotaging" Iain Watters' Baked Alaska by taking his ice cream out of the freezer.
Watters was seen throwing the remains of his bake in the bin before storming off set.
Beard fell ill just before the making of the following episode and had to withdraw on medical grounds.
“Diana will not appear in the rest of the series as she fell ill ahead of filming episode 5 earlier this year,” a BBC spokesman said.
More than 500 people have complained to the broadcaster over the incident.
The Democratic presidential candidate may also have shown his cards on his choice of running mate.
The US president also shared a post on Twitter accusing Dr Anthony Fauci of misleading the public over hydroxychloroquine.
