Last night on The Great British Bake Off, the latest batch of bakers took on Bread Week with a tasty Chelsea Bun, the technically challenging non-yeast naan bread and a showstopping korovai (an Eastern European bread).

Ultimately, Antony fell flat this week and was asked to leave the tent while Rahul rose to the challenge to become star baker for the second week in a row.
"I’m leaving, but still happy tears"

We’re so sad you’re going Antony, but so happy we met you. #GBBO pic.twitter.com/BBe5qGR3TP
As usual, GBBO fans were on the ball while following the show on Twitter. Here are some of our fav tweets from the night.
Everyone loves Rahul
"Rahul moved to the UK 8 years ago and now bakes regularly to make new friends" #GBBO pic.twitter.com/83N87sYHnk

Rahul: "This is terrible. I am so sorry Paul. This is awful."

Paul: "This is the greatest thing I have ever eaten."
Rahul: "I can only apologise." #GBBO
I want to adopt Rahul and fill him with self-confidence and for him to fill me with cake in return #GBBO

Hollywood handshakes
Not saying Paul Hollywood is being too liberal with the handshakes this series, but I feel like he’d shake hands in Greggs after a steak bake. #GBBO

Imagine trying to explain to a #GBBO novice that a ‘Hollywood Handshake’ isn’t the seal to a lucrative LA contract, but is instead a clammy scouse hand in a muggy tent.

Oh, Terry
Viewers: "Terry, just play it safe. You won the technical. Keep it simple."

LGBT GBBO
Antony - "and his partner Gary" - I have always loved how Bake Off has never made a thing about someone having a same-sex partner. It's not made a big fuss at all. As it should be. #GBBO
