After realising Noel was nowhere to be seen, plenty of viewers took to social media to express their concern. One person said: "Oh Noel on #GBBO looked extra pale and now they've said he's not well. Hope #NoelFielding is okay?"
A second fan tweeted: "Now I can't focus on the showstoppers??!! WHERE'S NOEL, is he okay??!! #GBBO", as a third echoed this: "I must have missed it, where did Noel disappear to? #GBBO."
The Mighty Boosh star has yet to speak out about why he missed a portion of the programme, however, it's believed that whatever it was that rendered him temporarily unable to be in the tent was not serious. It's also been confirmed that he will be back in full force to co-host Tuesday's episode.

The official Bake Off Twitter account has seemingly confirmed Noel's return by sharing a photo from the latest episode that shows him back in the tent along with co-host Matt and judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith. The accompanying tweet read: "The choux must go on! Pastry Week. Tonight. 8pm."
Tonight's episode will see the amateur bakers make signature choux pastry doughnuts and tackle a tricky Turkish technical before creating a savoury showstopper where they must pack a pastry pie with flavour as well as a delicate design.
