Do people just sit around waiting to be offended?
Ofcom is considering investigating the Great British Bake Off after 28 people complaining to the British media regulator about a stunt whereby Noel Fielding climbed inside a fridge.
Co-host Sandi Toksvig, opened the door to unveil Noel, 44, crouching inside, but despite the pair seeing it all as a bit of fun, viewers at home took to Twitter to criticise the Mighty Boosh star for being “irresponsible”
How stupid can you be?” tweeted one viewer. “You should never shut people in a Fridge even for comic effect! Children are watching this!”
Another wrote: "My daughter loves to watch Bake Off. I've just had to explain why she should never climb in a fridge. Can't believe it got aired!" A third complaint read: “Shocking. So dangerous. How could this get onto a family program. Wouldn't happen on the Beeb.”
People really have a lot of time on their hands when they're ringing up to complain about a man hiding in a fridge.

This news comes after pictures of co-host Paul Hollywood dressed up like a Nazi surfaced last week. Now that's something people are entitled to be offended by.
