And then there were three... bakers in the tent, competing for the title of ‘Great British Bake Off’ champion 2016.
Following Selasi’s emotional departure in last night’s semi-final, the scene is set for the final high-stakes boulangerie battle - with the fact of it being the very last show we’ll see on the BBC making it that bit more special.
Three bakers will be proving, laminating and icing their way to a trophy for one, big generous smiles for the other two - but who do you think will win? Vote below.
Paul Hollywood, at least some viewers will see again on judging duty, but it’s also the last time we’ll see Mel Giedroyc, Sue Perkins and Mary Berry inside the tent, following the decision of all three to stick with the BBC and not “follow the dough” to the show’s new home at Channel 4.
It’s been a strange series, with more drama outside the tent and in the offices of the various telly execs but, if last year’s winner Nadiya Hussain is anything to go by, there’s a big fat culinary career waiting for the champion, and changed lives for all three.
Of the three finalists, Candice has been Star Baker three times which must surely make her the favourite, while Andrew has been sneaking up on her with increasingly sophisticated offerings. AndJane might have been gaming them both with her ever-bashful, “I don’t believe you really like it” efforts.
So, who’s it going to be?
