THE GREAT BRITISH Bake Off returned last night and though there were 11 other bakers to meet, the one that captured hearts was 66-year-old former headteacher, Val.

While she came all too close to being booted off thanks to two dodgy bakes, her quirks and a good turn in the Showstopper challenge made her number one in viewers’ eyes.

“That would be classed as a See Me.”

“Well, see ME later then.”

And, hilariously, she claims to know when her cakes are done by listening to them

As such, she has been dubbed The Cake Whisperer:

“They sing. They said they’re not ready.”

Everyone is in love
