Michaela Strachan has said that The Great British Bake Off makes her sick and called its celebration of sweet things "obsessive and obscene".
The cake competition may be a massive hit with viewers, but that hasn't stopped the TV host from sticking the boot in.
"I don't understand why this is so popular," Strachan told Metro.
"I tried to watch it to see what the fuss was about, but I just really didn't care how the cakes turned out.
"I can understand the creativity that goes into it, but I don't understand how this can go on for weeks on end."
The 49-year-old presenter added: "We're at a time when you can't open a paper without being told about the dangers of sugar, and yet here they are making Black Forest gateaux that are a foot high.
"Do people really want to eat that stuff? It made me feel sick.
