Well, that was an episode of Bake Off that happened.
Bake Off has gone off the boil again. But it has been a joy once more to watch / cling on through the episode. See you next week, where apparently it is Party Week. Although, after that episode, who is in the right mind to celebrate?
And the baker leaving the tent is ……… Saku!
Not Saku! Not the People’s Champion! Oh no. This is absolutely gutting.
Not only is she a fabulous baker, but she is so relatable and utterly charming. Her facial expressions are glorious, her bakes are genius and who can forget her clapbacks to Paul and Prue?
My favourite of all was earlier in this episode, when Paul said “you let me down.”
Saku’s response? “Please, let it go.”
She was all of us watching this show. And the void her departure leaves will be huge.
