What people are saying
I was heartbroken to leave my Bake Off family, but there was also a strange sense of relief.
It's been a pleasure. I grew up watching this program, being here for five weeks, it's surreal. I'm very proud of that, it's been very wonderful.
Unfortunately, it's come to the end of the line for Yannis, which is really sad as he's a really good baker.
