Now in full Party Week cleanup mode. Bin bags. Angry neighbours. Random stranger passed out in the kitchen. Thank you for all for coming. Where’s the afters?

Oh it seems to be here.

Next week on Bake Off… Dan will no doubt say that he wants to go to the pub.

Thanks for reading. See you next week.

And Cristy is leaving the Bake Off tent.
