And so, that’s it. The last BBC series of The Great British Bake Off draws to a close, with an ending more emotional than the final shot of Blackadder Goes Forth spliced with the snowman melting to the tune of Aled Jones.

Selasi was the last big character though, so it’s a pity he didn’t make the final. As ever, I tweeted along as this evening’s baking adventures unfolded. See below for what I said. 8:02pm: I wonder how many takes Mel & Sue's intro took. 8:04pm: Will the £25million fee for C4's version of #GBBO stretch to buying Paul Hollywood a pair of cufflinks? 8:07pm: "Puff the magic pastry lived by the Selasi..." 8:13pm: Jane's hair confuses me. 8:14pm: Lamination's what you need, if you want to be a puff...
