"Oooh! Go away! Err!" she said, waving her right hand to send the bug away. In doing so, Sura accidentally hit competitor Dave who stood behind her, dramatically toppling over four of the six cakes he carried on a small tray.

Judge Paul Hollywood was a bit tougher, however, and shared some constructive criticism for Dave’s sweet treats, which were marked in ninth place.
"They look quite dark down the side there. Almost burnt,” the judge said, per Insider. “And that's not because it was dropped on the floor. That's because it's been over-caramelized.”
