Joe was patched up after cutting his finger

Joe isn't the first famous face to score an injury in the tent, as Alex Jones recently needed stitches after cutting her hand on glass when she didn't lock a mixing bowl properly onto an electric mixer. At the time, she said: "I'm saying, 'I'm absolutely fine' before realising there’s a massive shard of glass sticking out of my hand! I had to go straight off to the paramedic for stitches." She also revealed that she wouldn't let the paramedic use anaesthetic as she wanted to return to the Bake Off tent and finish the task. She recalled: "He said, 'I’m just going to put in the anaesthetic' and I was like, 'No, there’s no time for that, I have a showstopper to make, just do it!'"
