Val had an absolute ‘mare on Great British Bake Off and it was giving viewers palpitations

Biscuit week was not the best time in the tent for poor Val on The Great British Bake Off.

From a trayful of ice cream biscuits tipped on the floor to a crumbling Statue Of Liberty, if it could go wrong, it went wrong for Val.

Val was ambitious with her “From Holland to New York via Yorkshire” gingerbread story Showstopper that represented her family’s life journey (and included a gingerbread copy of her sister Susan).

And admittedly it didn’t go well.

In fact, it could only be best compared to a disaster movie aftermath.

Great work, Val! #GBBO pic.twitter.com/Ed9uLj3xlg

Val has essentially made the gingerbread equivalent of The Day After Tomorrow. #GBBO

Val's looks like a homage to the final scene of 'Planet of the Apes.' #GBBO

What Val needs to do is hastily knock up a biscuit Godzilla, which would explain why her gingerbread buildings are in pieces #GBBO

Val's Statue of Liberty looks like the aftermath of Cloverfield #GBBO

So in the space of two episodes of #GBBO Val had become a national treasure and we all need to protect her from ever leaving the show
