'I don't think I can take more of this.' Handshakes and high drama at the Bake Off semi-final

It was Pâtissiere Week and the most shocking one yet. We need a slice of bakewell tart and a cup of tea to calm down

Jürgen, Giuseppe, Chigs and Crystelle will face off in the semi final of the Great British Bake Off tonight.

Semi-Final Week on the  Great British Bake Off was as dramatic as promised. With a shock exit on the cards, we joined Chigs, Crystelle, Giuseppe and Jürgen as they tackled opera cakes, a sable Breton tart and the most difficult signature yet: a themed banquet display arranged around an edible centrepiece.

That’s it for another #ExtraSlice! We hope you can join us at the same time next week to peruse Pâtisserie Week (aka the Semi Final 😱). pic.twitter.com/RNAivSF5aj
