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.

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.
