Last week, The Great British Bake Off returned to our screens with a brand new season of innuendos, soggy bottoms, and outlandishly bright shirts.
Hosting duo Noel Fielding and Sandy Toskvig returned to the baker's tent with their usual balance of gothic charm and sunny sense of humour and, by the looks of things, the tenth series is set to take the biscuit.
Catch up
Under the ice-cold stare of Paul Hollywood and the wry smile of Prue Leith, the 13 amateur bakers were thrown into the deep end last week with a variety of cake-filled challenges.
In the end, 32-year-old Support Worker Dan sent home following a disappointing signature bake while 35-year-old Michelle was awarded Star Baker for her incredible toadstool birthday cake showstopper.
This week, the competitors were tasked with creating sweet chocolate covered biscuits and savoury fig rolls as well as the weekly jaw-dropping showstopper.
So what happened amongst the culinary chaos of blood, sweat and - yes - tears?
Read on for the full catch up.

Who won star baker?
Twenty-eight-year-old Geography teacher Alice was awarded the prestigious title of Star Baker on last night's GBBO thanks to her baaarilliant creation, a macaroon show stopper that truly stood out from the herd.
Ewe have to see it to believe it.
Congratulations to our Star Baker Alice! Her stunning sheep showstopper was Baaaake Off perfection! 🐑🐑🐑 #GBBO pic.twitter.com/anWZv7ijYT

Who went home?
Fans were heartbroken to wave goodbye to 20-year-old Surrey man Jamie, a sweet-natured baker who was sent home following a series of baking blunders - accidentally adding egg white glaze to fig rolls being one of them...
He came. He baked. He smiled. What a joy it's been to have Jamie in the Bake Off tent! #GBBO pic.twitter.com/8pB4nRZXqV

What's next?
Next week will see the remaining contestants break bread with the judges, but will they rise to the occasion or will it be crumby work all round? Some of the bakes are bound to go a rye with Hollywood turning up the heat... Ok, we'll stop.
If there's one thing more satisfying than thinking up food puns, it's catching up on the hot-takes, declarations of love and the conspiracy theories that go down on Twitter:
Jamie forever
We could all tell he'd leave this week but my heart is still broke #GBBO 😭😭😭💔💔💔

GBBO spin-off?
I want Jamie from bake off to have his own baking tv show where everything goes wrong but he accepts it and moves on to the next disaster #gbbo

Run bakers, run
In my running group last night, We headed out around 6.30pm. I'm the youngest in the group- everyone else is 30-55 YO

We plod along for 2.5 miles, half way done. During a break, someone say "#GBBO starts in an hour"
I've never seen a group people run as fast, to get home in time
