There was drama, tears and chocolate starfishes in the baking tent last night
The Great British Bake Off final is just a week away - and on last night's episode, we found out which three bakers will compete for this year's title.
It was Patisserie Week, which is notoriously tricky as it requires a certain level of finesse and pulling together a lot of different elements.
Despite somehow pulling it out of the bag to win the technical challenge (which involved a lot of panicked flapping), 28-year-old vet Rosie was eventually sent home. The general consensus seemed to be that she had been on borrowed time, and it was time for her to go. Farewell, Rosie.
Meanwhile, Alice was awarded Star Baker after David failed to impress in the Showstopper Challenge - which means that next week's final may not be as cut and dried as we previously thought.
See below for the best tweets about Rosie's departure and the semi-final in general...

Iโd 100% watch โbake off revengeโ where Paul and Pru have to do all their technicals whilst ex contestants just wander past being passive aggressive at them and then Mary Berry judges the fuck out of them #GBBO
