oven element probably cracked internal insulation and needs replacing. A common problem.

I don't know your oven, but on some it is an easy DIY job. Try to get a genuine part as some replacements are poor quality and don't last long.

There is a chance you might be able to buy one at an electrical supplier in your town before dinner time...
 
Is it a fan oven or one with a top and bottom element ?? as it sounds like the oven element may have failed.

does it trip an MCB or the RCD (one with a press to test button on)

putting the full model number and product number helps with identifying your model for more specific help.
 
undone it all took out lead at back of element turned back on nothing blew so reattached element blew again but the thing is the element is working but i noticed the fan is not spining round is it blowing because fan has packed over heating inside

Does the fan share a common neutral or supply with the element (some do)
Check the resistance of the element usually around 27 ish ohms,
Is the motor shorted out or are the bearings jammed.
