The bookmaker stated 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 after that evens.

"We offered rates on Monday and, almost before the ink was dry, an unusual number of punters were in a rush to back just one entrant," 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 sounding and, as a safety measure, we suspended our betting.

"Hopefully, we'll go back up with modified odds sooner rather than later, but we didn't want to get captured with our pants took down and a soggy bottom, so we've chosen to kick back until we are assured that Bake Off hasn't gone off already.

"When you see a run of bets like this promotion code for one entrant at the expenditure of everyone else that can be an indication to suspend betting for a bit to examine the scenario," he added.

Several of the bets put were the optimum the bookie would take for wagers made on the program's outcome, and 90% were positioned on one participant.
