The new series of Great British Bake Off arrived on our screens this week.
The programme, also known as GBBO, sees amateur bakers take on cake challenges where they attempt to pull off signature, technical and showstopper bakes each week.
The judges, Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith, and presenters Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding have also returned to see the bakers’ creations in the well-known tent.
Fans of the show took to social media to post envious comments regarding presenter Noel Fielding and his eclectic fashion sense.
Although Fielding often chooses designer pieces to wear from brands such as Gucci, Dries Van Noten and Paul Smith, he opted for a more affordable black jumper with pink smiley faces on it from I Saw It First.
Often sporting designer pieces from the likes of Gucci, Dries Van Noten and Paul Smith, for last night’s premiere episode Noel opted for a more affordable, black and pink smiley face jumper from fast fashion favourite, I Saw It First.
Taking to Twitter, GBBO fans tried to find out where Fielding had bought the jumper from, only to find it was sold out.
One Twitter user said: “In case anyone else was wondering about Noel Fielding’s jumper...it’s out of stock #gbbo #bakeoff #isawitfirst”

However, fans of the jumper can still get their hands on the cardigan version which is in stock on I Saw It First’s website.
Which alternatives are available to buy?
Nick Drewe from WeThrift has compiled a list of affordable, smiley faced alternatives.
- Black Flower Smiley Oversized Jumper - I Saw It First - £35
If darker colours are more your thing, this black crew neck knitted jumper will make a statement with an oversized fit and an all-over yellow smiley faced daisy design. Floral patterns don’t have to be restricted to just the spring and summer months after all.
- Orange Flower Smiley Oversized Jumper - I Saw It First - £35
If you’re looking for a bright alternative, this oversized orange and green floral jumper could be just what you’re looking for during Autumn. This jumper could be paired with leather look trousers or leggings as modelled but it could also look good over a dress or skirt and accompanied with thick tights for those cooler days.
- Pink Flower Smiley Oversized Jumper - I Saw It First - £35
A similar jumper is also available in pastel colours like this pink one. Pair this jumper with black or grey skinny jeans and heeled Chelsea boots to achieve the full Noel Fielding look.
- Smile Face Pattern Drop Shoulder Bishop Sleeve Jumper - SHEIN - £18.49
This pink alternative is the cheapest of this compilation as its priced at £18.49. The smiley face pattern is a great alternative to achieve fielding’s sold out look.
- ASOS DESIGN knitted jumper with smile design in pale blue - ASOS - £30.00
If a larger smiley face in the centre of a knit is more you’re thing, look no further. This pale blue jumper has big smiley face in the middle as opposed to multiple smaller ones in a repeated pattern over the jumper.
- Stone Men's Oversized Smiley Boxy Jumper - I Saw It First - £15.00
Neutral colours are also available as an alternative. Despite the colours of this one being toned down compared to the other designs mentioned, it could still achieve the Noel Fielding look.
Great British Bake Off will continue to air on Tuesdays at 8pm on Channel 4.
