The kids are going back to school, the heatwave is long over and 'The Great British Bake Off' is back on the box - there's no denying it, summer is over, but at least we have some delicious baking along with a healthy dose of innuendo to be watching for the foreseeable.
'The Great British Bake Off' returned last night with a brand new batch of contestants with retired air steward Terry proving the most popular, at least on Twitter anyways. Data analyst Meltwater revealed to entertainment.ie that he was the most mentioned baker on social media, while the show was tweeted about 1,507 times in Ireland last night (out of 319,304 Irish tweets yesterday).
The show was mentioned on Twitter 92,411 times overall yesterday - here are some of the best tweets:

Right, that’s it, summer’s over, autumn’s here, #GBBO has started and we can all stop pretending we like being outdoors and just stay in eating cake and watching TV.

Me: I’m gonna lose weight
Bake Off: it’s biscuit week
Me: guess I need to eat biscuits whilst I watch biscuit week #GBBO— robyn (@robynfoster) August 28, 2018

Ultimately the Irish girl and the French girl have it won, not Bake Off, they both still have EU passports #GBBO
