Who is replacing Matt Lucas on Bake Off?

Bake Off fans have gone wild for the very glam new shake-up on their favourite show.

TV presenter Alison Hammond has already proved a hit with fans after she replaced Matt Lucas -  and she's only been on duty one week.

Let's hope she dusts her dancing shoes off tonight to give the cooks a giggle in the kitchen tonight.

Who was last week's star baker?

The first, erm, jammy contestant who got the top gong was Dan!

He looked delighted, after dazzling the judges with his doggy cake.

Can't wait.

Crunch, crunch.

Comic Keith

Do you see Keith giving Alison a run for her money in the stand-up stakes?

Erm, stick to the day job, we think!

Alright for Al!

Did you hear Bake Off's Alison Hammond giving fans a glimpse inside her emotional struggle juggling work with being a busy mum at home?

'Mum guilt?' What's that, she giggles.

Ha!

One fan Tweeted: "I'm always warming my cream."

11th place in the technical challenge making custard creams -  and Paul said they taste like rubber. Ouch!

Keith looks gutted, poor dude!

Abbi ever after

The nation cheers after Abbi wins the technical challenge.

Oh dear. Fans fear their fave Keith could be going home after his biscuit disaster in this last challenge.

He even makes 'Mr Nasty' Paul smile.

Now, he should get a golden handshake for that, alone.

What is the theme for Bake Off next week?

Tonight took the biscuit, to be sure, as Keith got sent home after his custard creams didn't make the cut.
