Last night on The Great British Bake Off, we saw temperatures soar in the tent as our newest batch of bakers took on a chocolate challenge.
While they all succeeded in making a tasty Traybake, many a baker stumbled at the Gateau Vert and flat-out melted during the showstopping Chocolate Collar Cake.

Ultimately, we waved farewell to Luke and applauded as the judges named Rahul as star baker.
He fought valiantly against the heat and showed great spirit, but sadly Luke’s #GBBO journey comes to an end this week. pic.twitter.com/cQWluzmoGe

As usual, our absolute highlight of the night was watching all you #GBBO fans take to Twitter...
