It all gets too hot in the kitchen for Iain - and his dessert
Last night we witnessed Irish contestant Iain Watters go into meltdown during an airing of The Great British Bake Off where he hurled his baked alaska into the bin after it failed to set.
The contestants were set a task to make the famous desert and all went to plan for Iain until fellow contestant Dana Bird removed his desert from the fridge while it was beginning to set.
When Iain discovered this he immediately threw his dish into the bin, stormed out of the tent and took time on a nearby hill.
When judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood asked to see his masterpiece he showed it off in the only way he could - by presenting them with the bin.
Twitter has exploded using the hashtag #justiceforiain - it even trended in the UK!
I didn't sleep well at all last night because i was so upset about the great British bake off #justiceforiain

Even creating hilarious memes of what they are now calling - Diana’s sabotage.
Presenter Sue Perkins tried to clear up all sabotage rumors but Iain fans were having none of it.
Iain's Alaska was out of the freezer for 40 secs. That's it. No sabotage. 40 secs of normal temp would NOT be enough to reduce it to liquid

Iain replied to the support last night via Twitter:
THANK YOU @BritishBakeOff it's been truly EPIC. What can I say guys - I had a #MELTDOWN. Thanks for the support. #BINCIDENT #GBBO

And gave his best wishes to fellow contestant Diana.
Guys no hard feelings now. Diana is a top lady and all us tent bakers are greats pals. Can't wait to tune into the rest of the series. 😊😉
