The Great British Bake Off has been cleared over the Noel Fielding refrigerator joke from Bread Week.
Ofcom received 55 complaints over the gag that saw Noel huddled up inside a fridge during the Showstopper challenge, with co-host Sandi Toksvig opening and closing the door on him.
However, the broadcasting watchdog has confirmed that Bake Off won't get in trouble over the potential 'dangerous behaviour'.
"We assessed complaints that a scene in this programme was potentially dangerous and could be imitated by children," an Ofcom spokesperson said. "We found that the scene was very brief and occurred later in the programme, when younger children were least likely to be watching."
So everyone can just chill out now.
Bake Off has also been cleared of two complaints over 'race discrimination/offence', although it's not clear what those complaints referred to.

Last week's Bake Off saw everyone devastated as Forgotten Bakes led to Liam's exit from the tent, leaving Sophie, Kate, Steven and Stacey to battle it out in tonight's (October 24) semi-final.
Away from the tent, it's also been confirmed that Bake Off: Crème de la Crème will be jumping to Channel 4 next year as well.
A Channel 4 representative confirmed to Digital Spy that the competition for professional pastry chefs will be moving channels for its third series, but it's not yet clear if the judges or host Angus Deayton will stay on board.
The Great British Bake Off airs tonight at 8pm on Channel 4.
