Great British Bake Off contestant Henry turned the tables on the notoriously harsh Paul Hollywood during Tuesday’s episode.
The shocked student from Durham, 20, told the veteran baker to “shut up” after Hollywood passed judgment on his Kardemummabullar, a Swedish bun served at coffee parties.
When he was offered the much sought-after Hollywood handshake, he responded by saying: “No, shut up.”

One fan praised Henry for his bravery whilst remarking how sad it was that Michael, 26, has been eliminated from the tent.
They said: “Well done to Michael. My little one is so gutted he’s out as he was her fave but he has done fantastic.
“And well done to Henry. Hand shake, star baker and got to tell Paul to shut up! Goals right there.”
