The BBC show - which sees passionate amateur bakers complete against each other - will return to TV screens tonight (05.08.15) but contestant Mat Riley is worried about an avian invasion.
He told the Daily Star: "My main fear would be if a bird flew in through the window. I'm not a fan of birds."
As the show is filmed in a marquee in Berkshire with plenty of openings for birds to get through, he could have to face his fears.
Mat's comments come after a number of recent attacks by seagulls on people have left them with injuries including 66-year-old Sue Atkinson who was left bleeding from a head wound after being dive-bombed by a gull in Cornwall.
