Rav Bansal, who has proved popular on 'The Great British Bake Off', said a stranger asked him whether he was a "Paki" when referring to the show as the "not-so-British Bake Off".

"So today I was asked 'Are you the p*ki on the not so British bake off?' Really, in 2016?," he questioned on Twitter yesterday.
