Could Bake Off's Iain be set for comeback?

Axed Great British Bake Off Iain Watters has left fans guessing as to whether he could return the show after rival Diana withdrew due to illness.

Asked on BBC's Newsnight if he would be making a comeback, he teased viewers by saying: "You will have to watch next week."

Watters added that he doesn't hold a grudge against competitor Diana Beard after the controversy dubbed "bingate".

He said he didn't blame Beard for taking his Baked Alaska out of the freezer, a move he says was made "in the heat of the moment".

He said the public support following his exit from the show had been "crazy" - pointing in particular to the #JusticeforIain campaign that trended on Twitter.
