The Great Celebrity Bake Off<\/a>: Stand Up To Cancer viewers have been left furious over an \u201cunwatchable\u201d episode due to technical issues.<\/p>\n

The heart-warming Channel 4 programme <\/a>returned tonight, with Alex Brooker, Ambika Mod, Rose Ayling-Ellis, Vicky Pattison and Sam Thompson taking to the iconic tent.<\/p>\n

In the hope of impressing judges Paul Hollywood and Cherish Finden <\/a>alongside hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding, the amateur celebrity bakers attempted to work choux pastry into something memorable and tried their hand at steamed puddings.<\/p>\n

However, viewers weren\u2019t too impressed, as several watching on Sky claimed they couldn\u2019t even watch it.<\/p>\n

One person took to X to complain: \u201cAnyone else getting a stuttering broadcast and the occasional pixel madness of a 80s top of the pops episode ??\u201d<\/p>\n

They later added: \u201cIt\u2019s getting worse\u2026. Pauses as well now. Shame.\u201d<\/p>\n

Someone else replied: \u201cYeah, I\u2019ve given up watching it,\u201d to which the original poster said: \u201cI am so close to that point\u2026 it’s quite unwatchable.\u201d They then added: \u201cMost off-putting I say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another viewer commented: \u201cI’ve stopped and started it again, thinking it might have been weather-related, so I’m glad it’s not just me!\u201d<\/p>\n

In another post, yet another viewer fumed: \u201c@Channel4 sort it out! It’s becoming unwatchable.\u201d<\/p>\n

They later added: \u201c#GBBO its getting worse\u2026. Reboot yourself during the adverts!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, someone else said on X: \u201cDoes anyone else have signal issues while watching Bake Off this evening? We\u2019ve had several shaky screeners tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

And another echoed: \u201cWhat\u2019s going on @Channel4, how can we watch #Bakeoff with it breaking up all the time?\u201d<\/p>\n

Gloucestershire Live has approached Sky for comment.<\/p>\n
