MOVE OVER LADS, the internet has a new boyfriend: Selasi off The Great British Bakeoff.

The 30-year-old, Ghanaian-born banker emerged as a fan favourite the second he made his entrance like this:

And intensified those feelings when he and Paul Hollywood shared a ~moment~ during the Week One technical challenge.

Over the next two episodes, though, Selasi’s laid-back attitude and generally smooth charm won him many, many fans.

Is there a person out there totally immune to him? Because we have yet to find out.

People are just in awe of him

The only way Selasi could be any more awesome is if it turned out that he'd wandered into the tent by mistake and rolled with it. #GBBO

Approximately 90% of all GBBO Twitter innuendo now relates to Selasi
