Transcript

00:00Welcome to an extra slice of Bake Off.

00:02It was patisserie week, so I'm joined

00:05by a refined and stylish trio of guests.

00:08The elegant, cherished Findon.

00:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

00:13The classy Catherine Ryan.

00:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

00:17And the always well-laminated Joe Wilkinson.

00:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

00:30Hello. Great to have you all here to talk about

00:48the nail-biting semi-final.

00:51Now, first things first, Joe, you're not here to try and

00:54banish any of us, are you?

00:55Not talking about traitors.

00:57Oh.

00:58They are all dead to me.

01:00LAUGHTER

01:01Well, it's clear how much of a toll

01:03patisserie week took on the bakers.

01:05Here's the normally suave and stylish Tom

01:08before patisserie week,

01:10and here he is just ten minutes into the signature.

01:13LAUGHTER

01:16Now, Catherine, you probably don't have a lot of time

01:18for baking at the moment.

01:19Congratulations on your new baby.

01:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

01:24Do you like a bit of patisserie?

01:28I do think that the bakes from this episode, with all the filling...

01:33I'm a fillings girl, that's why I have so many kids.

01:36LAUGHTER

01:37I know.

01:38They really did get me excited.

01:40Oh, well, that's good.

01:41Now, Cherish, you're a world-renowned pastry chef.

01:45What is the secret to top-notch patisserie?

01:48Well, for me, it's very important to master your basic well.

01:53If you make a sweet pastry and you turn it into a tart,

01:57make sure there's no soggy bottom.

01:59And, of course, it's tinny roll.

02:02And, of course, you need to understand the science behind baking.

02:06Why do you use baking powder instead of baking soda?

02:09What activates your baking soda?

02:11Too much baking already, OK?

02:13LAUGHTER

02:14Now, Joey, what do you actually like about fancy cakes?

02:17Oh, they're fancy.

02:18LAUGHTER

02:20I like that they're delicate, I like that I can crush them.

02:22Makes me feel brutish.

02:23Yeah.

02:24LAUGHTER

02:26Meanwhile, Alison showed us how skilled she is

02:29at seamlessly chiming in to someone else's conversation.

02:32It wasn't your best day yesterday?

02:34Yeah.

02:35You have to produce today.

02:36Yeah, absolutely.

02:37Just saying this, I did work in a macaron factory for a day.

02:39LAUGHTER

02:41So, after a fun-filled patisserie week for Toby...

02:45BUZZER

02:46Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God, oh, God!

02:49Oh...

02:50Oh...

02:52LAUGHTER

02:54He left the tent.

02:55Aw!

02:57But it means he'll be joining us later in the show.

03:00Catherine, what have you made of him?

03:02I think that even though all the semi-finalists are so warm

03:06and you can really sense a friendship in the tent,

03:08there's some anarchy in Toby's baking,

03:10and I will miss the moustache as well.

03:12I think he looked up the tent and everybody loved him.

03:15Everyone is going to miss him.

03:17Joe, what will you miss about Toby?

03:20Ah, I've moved on.

03:21LAUGHTER

03:24OK, well, let's head down to the tent

03:26and relive all the drama of the tent's semi-final.

03:30Semi-final week.

03:31So close.

03:33And patisserie had to be perfect.

03:36That one could be better.

03:37We're looking for finesse, delicacy...

03:40..and the cream horn signature.

03:42So many opportunities for innuendos today.

03:46There was no room for error.

03:48Today it's all about speed.

03:49..or messing about.

03:51What?

03:51Feeling horny.

03:53You are so childish.

03:54LAUGHTER

03:55In the technical, the judges managed to make a complicated French classic...

04:00Framboisier.

04:02..even more complicated.

04:04Paul would also like you to make an exquisite sugar glass dome.

04:08..and Toby's hopes of making it to the final started sinking.

04:13It's a trifle.

04:14Very good trifle.

04:15Despite turning it around in the macaron centrepiece showstopper...

04:19They are so chocolatey, they're delicious.

04:22Well done, mate.

04:23..Toby left the tent.

04:24This is your best star baker for a fifth time.

04:28I feel so blessed.

04:29So, it's Aaron, Jasmine and Tom in the Great British Bake Off Final 2025.

04:36APPLAUSE

04:38So, are they the three finalists that you thought would make it through?

04:47Well, I remember that week one I was here and I predict that Aaron and Tom

04:53is the baker to look up for.

04:55Regarding Jasmine, she make a couple mistakes.

04:58But as she goes on, I think she's very comfortable in the tent.

05:02And from week three, my goodness, she just fly.

05:05Joe, did you think those three...

05:07No, I didn't give any of them a hope in hell.

05:11I thought they were awful.

05:14I stand by that.

05:15And if they were here this week, I'd say it to their faces.

05:18But Toby, I think, is excellent.

05:22I really thought Jasmine was strong all along.

05:25And I've seen some comments on social media saying,

05:28oh, she needs to take risks, like, oh, shake it up a bit.

05:31Why shake it up when you have a record for star baker?

05:34She's consistent, she's strong, she's professional,

05:37she works well under pressure.

05:39I just think, what more do you want?

05:41Absolutely.

05:42I found out she's 23 as well.

05:44And she's a medical student.

05:45She's a genius, Joe.

05:46How do you know stuff at 23?

05:48What were you doing at 23, Joe?

05:50Mainly breakdancing.

05:51Oh.

05:53Now, for the Macaron centrepiece showstopper,

05:56vast numbers of the tricky little blighters

05:58had to be displayed on an edible stand.

06:01Tom's highly ambitious plan led to this from Paul.

06:09What are you doing?

06:10On a particularly hot day in the tent,

06:16Tom had decided to go all Willy Wonka

06:18and melt 12 kilograms of chocolate.

06:2112 kilograms of chocolate in a bat.

06:27OK.

06:28Go on, Tom.

06:29It's been fast.

06:32We have the beehive.

06:34Your hands just shake, because you're going to rush so much.

06:49It was incredibly ambitious.

06:51I always thought Tom was going to be a steady Eddie,

06:54like a kind of Iceman, but he's insane.

06:57LAUGHTER

06:58He's got £3,000 on chocolate.

07:02I'm going to make a massive beehive.

07:04Yeah.

07:04What are you on about?

07:08Yeah.

07:09He can lift it.

07:11I think that he worked very hard.

07:12It's not easy to make a beehive.

07:17It's so heavy and hanging.

07:20It takes bees years to achieve it.

07:24How long is he going to be eating chocolate for?

07:29I know everyone's getting for Christmas a bit of a beehive.

07:34I've played that bit so many times.

07:35Oh, Hollywood was so cross about the beehive.

07:36I know.

07:37It's great telly getting cross about a big child.

07:39It took it so much.

07:40Idiot.

07:41What the hell are you doing?

07:42This is pastry week, you muppet.

07:43Here's how Tom reacted to Paul's criticism.

07:46It's so lame, I can't believe I'm crying.

07:48It's so lame, I can't believe I'm crying.

07:49It's so late.

07:50Oh, I just worked so hard with this week on that.

07:54Joe, how would you have felt if you were in his shoes?

07:56There'd have been more bleeps than that.

07:57I don't know.

07:58You're a judge on Canada's Got Talent.

07:59Yeah.

08:00Have you made anyone cry?

08:01Oh, yeah.

08:02Have you made anyone cry?

08:03Oh, yeah.

08:04Have you made anyone cry?

08:05Oh, yeah.

08:06Have you made anyone cry?

08:07Oh, yeah.

08:08Have you?

08:09Yes.

08:10Wicked.

08:23A hula hoop girl tried to fight me.

08:28You don't expect that in Canada.

08:29You give them hoops they go violent.

08:34She was hula hooping.

08:38And I did, and I was...amazing.

08:41I did some outstanding hula hooping, I had my arm,

08:44she didn't realise that it's in my wheelhouse.

08:47And then she got so cross, and she grabbed the hoop back

08:51and tried to throttle me with it, and she was dragged away.

08:55Sounds like great telly, though, doesn't it?

08:58Did it make the show? It sure did, yeah.

09:00You could watch it online, and then she cried.

09:03Aw. High five.

09:05The technicals saw an unexpected twist.

09:09Paul decided to deliver his words of advice in rhyme.

09:17This is about intricacy and delicacy,

09:21and you can make a mistake very, very easily.

09:24LAUGHTER

09:26The technical was to present a framboisier

09:30complete with fondant flour under a sugar glass dome.

09:33This required the bakers to show off their hard crack.

09:36And as Paul said confidently...

09:39What could possibly go wrong?

09:41Quite a bit, Paul, as it happened.

09:43LAUGHTER

09:44This is so tricky. It's hot through the gloves.

09:46Maybe I should have put more on.

09:49Why has it gone frosted?

09:50Oh, I can get more of a dome on it.

09:52And I cracked it.

09:53BUZZER

09:55Oh.

09:56I can do it.

09:58BUZZER

09:59Oh, no!

10:01I smashed it.

10:02As I put it in, it hit the shelf.

10:04BUZZER

10:06You know when Tom broke it?

10:08If you watch it back, they've obviously said to him,

10:10and if you can just hold it in that position, Tom,

10:12so we can get another angle of it.

10:14Oh, yeah.

10:14So he says he's broken it, he's going...

10:16Got the shot? Great.

10:19LAUGHTER

10:20Have you done a sugar dome, Cherish?

10:21Have you done a sugar dome, Cherish?

10:24Yes.

10:25Yesterday?

10:25What?

10:26No.

10:28Yes, I did.

10:29It's something you have to practise every day,

10:31cos you never know when Paul Hollywood's going to request one.

10:33LAUGHTER

10:34You have to put a cling film quite tightly

10:38on the rim of the bowl,

10:41pour a little bit on, use a ring.

10:44Of course, you have to oil it.

10:45Very important, not too much, just a little,

10:48so that you can release the sugar.

10:50And then you press it very gently,

10:53and please be very patient.

10:54The faster you press it down,

10:57you'll create a very thin sugar dome.

11:00How long do you have to hold it down for?

11:02About maybe five minutes to make sure

11:04that the sugar actually set before you remove it.

11:07And where do you think they went wrong?

11:08Were they not oiling their rings?

11:10LAUGHTER

11:12If you do not oil your ring,

11:14and then the sugar will stuck to your ring.

11:16Life advice.

11:19Life advice.

11:20You text me about that all the time.

11:21I'd come to you and tell.

11:23I'm like, at late at night, you go...

11:24Have you oiled your ring tonight?

11:26I said, I'll do it in a second.

11:27LAUGHTER

11:28After I've cleaned my teeth.

11:30LAUGHTER

11:31So, when it came to mucking up Mousseline,

11:34there was only one winner.

11:35But hopefully, once it was on the table amongst all the others,

11:38it wouldn't look that bad.

11:40LAUGHTER

11:41Wow!

11:43When it came to the judging,

11:45Prue spotted the problem with Toby's framboisier straight away.

11:48Oh, they're meant to be two layers of sponge.

11:50LAUGHTER

11:52Kicking when he's down.

11:55For this Mousseline, it's all about the butter,

11:59because the butter set the cake.

12:00I did buy a magnifying glass to look at Toby's mixture.

12:05And then you can see the little bit of butter lumps in the cake.

12:10Did you really look at Toby's cake with a magnifying glass?

12:13I swear upon my heart, I bought a magnifying glass,

12:17£9.50 from Amazon.

12:19LAUGHTER

12:21LAUGHTER

12:23Yes.

12:24Joe, out of the three, which one's going to win?

12:26Well, I know this is controversial,

12:28but I think Jasmine is a good baker.

12:31LAUGHTER

12:33So, Jasmine to win?

12:34Or Poy Man.

12:36LAUGHTER

12:38Yeah, Jasmine's cracking it, so, yeah.

12:40Which is great.

12:41But Erin's flavours are really exciting.

12:43When I saw grapefruit and mint, well, what?

12:45I think the judges really like ambitious flavours, and so do I.

12:49I really like Tom, because I think he's very creative,

12:52he's very innovative, he pushed the boundary.

12:55But if I'm going to put my money on...

12:59Jasmine.

13:00Is that because I said it?

13:02LAUGHTER

13:03Just because you said it. Yeah.

13:04OK, given the amount of innuendo in the tent this week,

13:08let's welcome a man who would never rise to anything like that.

13:12It's Tom Allen, everyone.

13:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

13:15Hi, everybody.

13:16Hello.

13:17Hello.

13:18Hi.

13:19Hi.

13:20Oh.

13:21Hi, everybody.

13:22Hello.

13:23What a treat.

13:24The semi-final.

13:25Can you believe it, everyone?

13:27Oh, it's really dragged.

13:29LAUGHTER

13:30Did you enjoy it?

13:33No, I did not.

13:34LAUGHTER

13:35I did one end to the show, though.

13:37Oh, everyone crying.

13:39Oh, they even had me melting like Toby's Mussolini I was.

13:42LAUGHTER

13:43What was up with Paul this week?

13:47He acts so butch, doesn't he?

13:49He's such a...

13:50..a geezer, isn't he?

13:51Such a tough guy, with his denim shirts and his wide-legged stance.

13:56But then he goes round demanding people make him a framboisier.

14:00LAUGHTER

14:01A framboisier?

14:03I thought I was camp.

14:04A framboisier?

14:05LAUGHTER

14:06What even is it?

14:07I mean, there's a lot of dessert they make on Bake Off

14:09that I don't think anybody would ever ask for.

14:11Can you imagine going into a harvester restaurant...

14:14LAUGHTER

14:15..and asking for framboisier?

14:17I once went for fish and chips in Glasgow

14:20and I asked for a lemon wedge and I got punched in the face!

14:24LAUGHTER

14:26APPLAUSE

14:28APPLAUSE

14:30Jasmine do no wrong with country.

14:32One time, she even shoved a cornichon in her cream horn.

14:36What?

14:37LAUGHTER

14:39Disgusting.

14:40Aaron did have some trouble with his macaroons, didn't he?

14:43They almost made him swear.

14:45Every batch is just as rubbish as the others.

14:48LAUGHTER

14:49Yes, for a minute there, Aaron was up rubbish creek without a paddle,

14:53weren't you, Aaron?

14:55And Jasmine, what on earth was she doing,

14:57making a Christmas tree in the middle of summer?

14:58We're not Australian, Jasmine, we don't do things like that here.

15:02Don't wish the year away.

15:03I mean, we've already finished the semi-final

15:06and it's almost all over.

15:07I can't believe it, but I can't wait to see what they all get up to

15:11next week.

15:12APPLAUSE

15:14Now, join us after the break when Tom will be grilling our audience

15:20bakers and we'll be looking at pictures of the baking you've been

15:23going at home.

15:24See you shortly.

15:25APPLAUSE

15:27Welcome back, I'm chatting all things patisserie with Tom, Cherish,

15:41Catherine and Jo.

15:43Now, Tom, what have our audience confessed to this week?

15:46The first one is...

15:48My mum is known for her great cheesecakes.

15:51One Sunday, when dessert was served,

15:54we noticed the cream cheese was flecked with pink bits.

15:57Asking mum what the pink bits were, she told us it was little pieces of ham.

16:02She had bought the wrong type of cream cheese and used it anyway.

16:05That's a bit pineapple on pizza.

16:13For sure, yeah.

16:14Some people might be into a ham cream cheese.

16:16It's like the savoury world's getting its revenge.

16:19She's known for her cheesecakes, not in a good way.

16:22She's really known for her cheesecakes.

16:25Our next one here.

16:27I decided I wanted banana bread as a Sunday sweet treat.

16:31Halfway through making it, I realised I had no bananas.

16:35Sounds like...

16:39Some people's lives.

16:42Banana came with no banana?

16:44Whatever could happen next.

16:45Shalala.

16:46I looked round and found the next best thing, baby food.

16:50No!

16:52I used the baby food, patiently waited,

16:54and one hour later, well, it was fair to say,

16:56the lamppost would have tasted better.

16:58Strange comparison.

17:01No-one would ever compare food to a lamppost.

17:04Also, no-one makes banana anything

17:09unless the first indication that it needs to be done

17:12is ripened bananas attracting flies in the kitchen.

17:16Then you go, got to make banana something.

17:18That's so true, isn't it?

17:19But surely banana bread is just Covid, isn't it?

17:23Yeah.

17:24Because during Covid, that's all anyone ever made.

17:26Oh, I thought that's how you meant the virus was created.

17:29I know.

17:30Banana bread.

17:32How bad is your banana bread?

17:34Oh, I don't know, Jimmy.

17:36Joe Brand's freezer full of bats.

17:39Right, who wants to admire the baking that's been going on

17:42in the kitchens of Britain?

17:44Oh, yes, please, yes.

17:46Well, let's start with a spooky one.

17:48Here's the bake Sinead made for her work's Halloween bake competition.

17:53Oh!

17:54OK.

17:55Apparently, and this may not surprise you,

17:58no-one wanted to eat them.

18:01Helen in Cambridge thought her Victoria sponge looked a bit dull

18:05and decided to jazz it up using some Halloween jelly sweets

18:08in the shape of bones.

18:10So she simply cut them in half and shoved them on the top.

18:13Here's the finished cake.

18:15LAUGHTER

18:18Yeah, it's not quite the bone effect her hair was aiming for.

18:25Let's move swiftly on.

18:27Sarah wanted to make a monkey cake

18:29and found an adorable picture to inspire her.

18:32Here were her ape expectations.

18:34Oh!

18:35And here's Sarah's almost identical effort.

18:39LAUGHTER

18:45Tay sent in a picture of the cake she made for her friend's wedding,

18:49which she decorated to reflect their two loves,

18:52camping and their allotment.

18:54Aw!

18:55That's wonderful, isn't it? Yeah.

18:57Have you ever made anything like that?

18:59No, I've tried.

19:00I think sometimes, you know, now I have four children,

19:03I do flirt with the idea of becoming a decent wife and mother.

19:07LAUGHTER

19:09But then I drink.

19:11LAUGHTER

19:13And finally, Christmas is just two long months away,

19:17so Dylan and Catherine had a go at making some gingerbread cookies

19:21in the shape of candy canes.

19:23That's the festive look they were hoping for, anyway.

19:26Here's how they came out of the oven.

19:28LAUGHTER

19:30They look more like Yule logs, to be honest.

19:35LAUGHTER

19:37There's just one week left to get your pictures in.

19:39Use the hashtag

19:41or go to

19:45Details below.

19:46OK, Studio Bakers, get ready.

19:49It's over to Tom.

19:50Thanks, Jo.

19:51And firstly, let's meet Odette and Keith.

19:54Where's Odette and Keith?

19:55Hello!

19:56Hello over here, Odette and Keith!

19:58Hi!

19:59Hi!

20:00Hello, Odette.

20:01Odette, yes.

20:02Nice to see you.

20:03And...

20:04Keith.

20:05Keith, nice to see you.

20:06Hi!

20:07How are you both?

20:08We're well.

20:09And you're together?

20:10No, no, no.

20:11No, no, no.

20:12Not in that way.

20:13Not in that way.

20:14You're just friends?

20:15Yes.

20:16Just good friends.

20:17And where are you from?

20:18I detect an accent there.

20:19I'm from America.

20:20America, everybody!

20:21Wow!

20:22Over the sea.

20:23And where abouts in the United States?

20:25I grew up in San Francisco.

20:26San Francisco, where the gays are from!

20:29LAUGHTER

20:30Oh, wow.

20:31Exciting, Keith.

20:32And yet you chose to live here with us, all us butch Brits.

20:36I did.

20:37And where abouts...

20:38I thought it might change me.

20:40Yes, yes, I can tell.

20:41I can tell.

20:42It really butched you up.

20:43Um...

20:44Now, where abouts do you guys live?

20:45Where do you live?

20:46In Bath.

20:47Oh, I see.

20:48How posh, how fancy.

20:49And what made you move to Bath?

20:50I like it.

20:51Yes?

20:52That's the thing about Americans.

20:53They speak as they find, don't they?

20:54Yes.

20:55It's quite sort of Jane Austen.

20:56Isn't there a fan museum or something like that?

20:57In 2003, I was a member of the Jane Austen Society of the US.

21:00Do you know, Keith, nothing about that sentence surprised me.

21:02LAUGHTER

21:03I was a member of the Jane Austen Society of the US.

21:05Do you know, Keith, nothing about that sentence surprised me.

21:07LAUGHTER

21:16Well, then I decided to take a little trip on my own to Bath.

21:18Oh, I see.

21:20You know, as a Jane Austen pilgrimage, you might say.

21:22Of course, how could one not?

21:23Of course.

21:24Yes, of course.

21:25But I just fell in love with the city.

21:26Well, it's a beautiful place.

21:27It is a beautiful place.

21:28Lovely place.

21:29How did you meet this fellow then?

21:30We met at the gym.

21:31At the gym.

21:32What were you both doing at the gym?

21:33Did you maybe run the cafe or something?

21:35LAUGHTER

21:36No, we're both very fitness-oriented.

21:38Fitness-orientated? No, fine, that's fine.

21:40I was a power lifter at the time.

21:41Oh, I beg your pardon, Odette.

21:43Thank you very much.

21:44Thank you for assuming.

21:45Power lifting, that's very impressive.

21:46Is that the one where you pick things up off the...?

21:48Yes, and put them back down again.

21:49And put them back down again.

21:50LAUGHTER

21:51This is pretty simple.

21:52Very simple.

21:53It's as far as I can go with exercise.

21:54Well, I think that's a very important thing to do.

21:56And what did you...?

21:57Mine was much more masculine.

21:58Yes.

21:59I was the aerobics instructor.

22:00Oh, for goodness sake, please.

22:01LAUGHTER

22:02Please.

22:03LAUGHTER

22:05Talk me through this beautiful cake you've made.

22:08So, the cake itself is a red velvet cake

22:10with a white chocolate ganache.

22:12Oh, please.

22:13The scene that's depicted is my sofa at home.

22:17Odette comes over every Tuesday during Bake Off season.

22:19I do.

22:20And we sit on the sofa, we have tea and cake,

22:23and we watch Bake Off.

22:25Oh, that is lovely.

22:27Thank you, that's perfect.

22:30Thank you very much.

22:31Now, Helen and our husband Tony.

22:33Hi, nice to see you both.

22:34So, you both, where have you travelled from?

22:35Um, from Hertfordshire.

22:36Hertfordshire.

22:37Where is that?

22:38Um...

22:39Yeah, no-one ever knows, do they?

22:41LAUGHTER

22:42Now, Helen, what does this...

22:44What does this Millennium Dome cake represent?

22:46Yep, so, every year for my birthday,

22:48we try and do something a bit adventurous, so...

22:51Do you, Helen?

22:52Yeah, so, a couple of years ago, we climbed over the O2.

22:55The O2?

22:56You climbed over...

22:57Yeah.

22:58That's what this is.

22:59So, this is the O2, so we climbed over, and that's me on the top.

23:01Oh, wow, and to scale and everything, that's what...

23:03LAUGHTER

23:05Who made the figure on the top, Helen?

23:09Was that...

23:10Gosh, what do you do for a living?

23:11You're not an engineer, I hope.

23:12I'm certainly not, no.

23:13What do you do?

23:14I've got a marketing...

23:15Marketing?

23:16Services.

23:17Company.

23:18Company?

23:19LAUGHTER

23:20So, you're a bit of an adrenaline junkie, are you?

23:23Yeah, I try to be.

23:24You're not very good with adrenaline?

23:26Not very good with heights.

23:27Oh, that's...

23:28I did this bit.

23:29Oh, I see.

23:30Oh, you did that...

23:31How was that for you?

23:32It was a challenge, sure.

23:33I mean, what is that like if she's always, like, trying to scale things?

23:35It's absolute hell, yeah.

23:36Oh, really?

23:37You don't...

23:38This is my revenge, so I've got my revenge.

23:40Baking a baked cake.

23:41And what are you going to...

23:42You've got a birthday coming up out here, is that right?

23:44Well, yeah, I've got a big birthday next year, so...

23:46Oh, and what are you going to do for that?

23:47You're going to throw yourself off some big building?

23:49Probably...

23:50Probably a skydive.

23:51Wow!

23:52But what I'd really, really like to do is abseil down the shard,

23:55but it's not a thing.

23:56It's not a thing and...

23:57It's not a thing until you do it!

23:59Right, right.

24:00We'll just get a job as a window cleaner there.

24:02They won't know.

24:03They won't know.

24:04Well, good luck with that, and happy birthday,

24:06and I'm sure you'll have a lovely time holding the coats.

24:08Exactly.

24:09Lovely.

24:10Congratulations.

24:11Lovely to meet you both, Helen and Tony.

24:12Helen and Tony.

24:13Lovely to see you.

24:14Now, now, Devram and Andy, Devram and Andy,

24:16all the way over there, all the way over there.

24:18Hello.

24:19Yes.

24:20Yes.

24:22Devram and Andy.

24:23Hello, Devram.

24:24Hello.

24:25And Andy.

24:26Hello.

24:27Nice to see you.

24:28That colour jumper makes you look like you're in prison.

24:30Yes.

24:31Where have you travelled from today, you guys?

24:34Epsom.

24:35Epsom?

24:36Where the Derby is.

24:37Oh, yes.

24:38Do you like going to the horses?

24:39Lovely.

24:40Do you?

24:41Yes, I've never been to Epsom Derby.

24:42Is it fun?

24:43All the Queen's horses are there.

24:44All the Queen's are there?

24:45Queen's horses.

24:46Oh, I see.

24:47The Queen's too.

24:49They're not.

24:50They're in this audience.

24:51I think you're fine.

24:52Now, Devram and Andy, these look beautiful.

24:56Now, what has inspired these bakes?

24:57This is all Turkish flavoured cupcakes.

25:00From the bottom here, baklava flavoured.

25:02Baklava is my favourite thing.

25:03You can taste that.

25:04I like that.

25:05This is Turkish coffee.

25:06Very strong.

25:07Very strong.

25:08And then this is tahini.

25:09Oh, yes.

25:10Tahini and a honey cupcake.

25:12Oh, wow.

25:13Would the panel like to try any of those?

25:15Yes!

25:16Earlier, these guys were talking about how hungry they are.

25:18What have you got in mind?

25:19What do you fancy, Catherine?

25:20Coffee, please.

25:21The coffee one.

25:22Joe, are you the same?

25:23Er, no.

25:26Jerrish, what would you like to try?

25:28Coffee, please.

25:29Coffee, two coffees.

25:30And I'm sure Joe will like a coffee as well.

25:32OK, let's see what they think.

25:34Let's see what they think.

25:35Hello, hello.

25:36Right, let's see.

25:37Give us your verdict on that, everybody.

25:38Yes!

25:39I'm so excited.

25:40Wow.

25:41Did you like that?

25:42What is this, Andy, you've made?

25:44So, I can't really bake at all, so I haven't baked in about 30 years,

25:49but I'm really good at roast dinners.

25:50Who doesn't love a roast dinner?

25:51Who doesn't love a roast dinner?

25:52So, I thought I would try and do a roast beef dinner.

25:55Oh, that's fabulous, Andy.

25:57Wonderful.

25:58Those potatoes look like they're actual roast potatoes as well.

26:01Yeah, very good.

26:02Who taught you to do this?

26:03Er, YouTube.

26:05Oh, YouTube.

26:06Now, let's find out what the panel think of these lovely coffee cupcakes.

26:12Katherine is nodding her head.

26:13Did you like it?

26:14I loved it, and it is Turkish coffee.

26:16It's not regular coffee.

26:17Oh.

26:18Very strong, really rich.

26:19Mmm.

26:20I loved it.

26:21Oh, wonderful, Debra.

26:22And Cherish, you are, of course, the expert we all look to.

26:25What did you think?

26:26I really liked it.

26:27I think the sponge is moist, it's light, and it's fluffy.

26:30So, well done.

26:32Oh, Debra, what a lovely...

26:33Not bad.

26:34Not bad.

26:35Not bad.

26:37Thank you very much.

26:38Oh.

26:39Right.

26:40Well, who is going to be our star baker?

26:43I'm delighted to say that it is...

26:48Odette and Keith for their fabulous soapless cake.

26:51But, of course, someone has to go.

27:01Oh, I hate doing this.

27:04And I'm afraid the person who will be leaving the studio this week

27:11is...

27:12Helen for forcing her husband Tony onto the roof of the O2.

27:20So cruel.

27:21So cruel.

27:22But fear not, because they'll each take away one of our fairly,

27:28I'll say it, uncoveted, extra-slice wooden spoons.

27:32Now, no studio bakers next week because it's the final show

27:42and all the bakers from the tent will be here.

27:45So a massive thank you to everyone who's brought a bake along

27:48this series.

27:49Thank you so much.

27:50Thank you, everybody.

27:56After the break, the man who put the techie into techie Toby

28:00will be here.

28:01Back in a bit.

28:17Welcome back.

28:18I'm here with Cherish, Catherine and Jo.

28:20And it's time for the baker who scored a hat-trick.

28:23Star baker, Hollywood handshake and two-time technical winner.

28:28It's everyone's favourite moustache.

28:30Together with its owner, will you please welcome Toby.

28:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

28:47We're all delighted to have you here.

28:49Right.

28:50Congratulations.

28:51You made it to the semi-finals.

28:53Have you and your moustache been attracting much attention

28:56while out and about?

28:57Yeah.

28:58A little bit.

28:59A little bit.

29:00I'm obviously still really awkward when I see people,

29:02which is, yeah, it's going to take me getting used to,

29:04but a little bit.

29:05But I got recognised in Liddle car park by...

29:08LAUGHTER

29:09..by a mum and her two kids.

29:11And I was just like, I didn't know what to say.

29:13But she was great.

29:14She was, like, laughing at me because I was so red and saying,

29:17oh, this is so funny.

29:18Oh.

29:19And I told her that this was the first time I'd been recognised.

29:21And she was like, oh, amazing.

29:22Well, we need to get a photo then.

29:23That's great.

29:24Aww.

29:25So, yeah, that was good.

29:26Sadly, you managed to upset everyone across the UK

29:30when you insisted on calling flapjacks.

29:32What was it?

29:33Flappy J's.

29:35LAUGHTER

29:38And here's what you said back in Pastry Week.

29:40Paul's not really dishing out handies.

29:42LAUGHTER

29:47Yeah.

29:48You and the other semi-finalists

29:49seemed to get on great with each other.

29:51Yeah.

29:52Was that just for the cameras?

29:53Yeah.

29:54LAUGHTER

29:55No, they're absolutely wicked.

29:57And the five of us, including Ian as well,

29:59were really close for a lot of it.

30:02You just go through so much together

30:04and there's so much off-screen that you don't see

30:06and constantly talking to each other

30:08when you're there, when you're away from the tent as well.

30:10So, you just bond over Paul Hollywood's horrible feedback.

30:15Obviously, she couldn't relate, but...

30:17LAUGHTER

30:18The rest of us, yeah, we just trauma bond, really,

30:20over a period of nine weeks and then it stops.

30:23And you and Tom had a bit of a thing going, didn't you,

30:25with parking your car?

30:27LAUGHTER

30:28Yeah, so...

30:29When we would get to the hotel,

30:30we would, like, come out in the mornings

30:32before we had to leave and one of our cars would be parked

30:35so close to the other ones that you couldn't get in.

30:38So, we were all on ground-floor rooms

30:40and, obviously, being Tom, he's got a big old Land Rover.

30:43Very Tom.

30:44He reversed it all the way up to my door from my room.

30:48So, I opened it and it was just the boot and then...

30:51LAUGHTER

30:52..and the edges either side, so I couldn't get out.

30:54LAUGHTER

30:55So, let's talk briefly about your final week in the tent.

30:58Now, your lemon macaron showstopper

31:01was a fantastic bake to end on.

31:04Which was fortunate, I think, given what a shambles

31:07you made with the technical, I am so sorry to say.

31:10But, to be fair, Prue quite enjoyed eating it.

31:13Any idea what happened with your framboisier?

31:16I just whacked in the butter while it was hot

31:18and it was just melting.

31:19You could see pools of butter in the mousseline.

31:21So, I just immersion blended it all together.

31:23I thought, wicked, that's taken me, like, two minutes.

31:26Everyone else is so stupid taking so much time to do it properly.

31:30LAUGHTER

31:32And then, yeah, obviously, it just...

31:34I loosened it completely, it never sat.

31:36It was a great consistency, though.

31:37Prue liked eating it.

31:38Yes, absolutely.

31:39It was a good trifle, which is good,

31:41because my trifle last week was a bit rubbery, so...

31:43LAUGHTER

31:44Well, it was during the technical that you won our award

31:47for most serious face while blending.

31:50LAUGHTER

31:51And you can put that next to the award you got in Chocolate Week

32:01for Least Effective Method of Stirring.

32:08LAUGHTER

32:09Now, Toby, you were a Meringue Week star baker

32:13when you produced your handshake-winning apple pies

32:16and mango bacheran glacé.

32:19Mmm.

32:20They were amazing, weren't they?

32:21Mmm, mmm.

32:22And we know Paul enjoyed the sorbet you made when he said this.

32:25It's like having a pina colada.

32:27I'm just not nipple-deep in a pool.

32:29LAUGHTER

32:31Not yet, Paul.

32:32That was definitely an invitation.

32:34I'm adamant that was an invitation.

32:35Joe, how deep do you like to be in a pool?

32:37Er...

32:39I like to be at Paul's nipple height.

32:41LAUGHTER

32:42Tom fancies him.

32:43Tom Arden fancies him a lot.

32:45Tell us more gossip about...

32:47I think his first scene in the opening cuts on episode one

32:51were Tom calling Paul a bit of a daddy.

32:53LAUGHTER

32:54Whoa!

32:55And then backstage the comments were more explicit.

32:58Whoa!

32:59Longer than week one.

33:00He's trying to back his Land Rover into Paul's drawer.

33:03LAUGHTER

33:05So out of curiosity, what was your highlight in the ten?

33:11The mini meringue pie handshake, for sure.

33:14Because it's that moment of validation.

33:16Having a few rocky bakes along the way,

33:20you kind of start to think, like,

33:22is this actually right?

33:23Is this a mistake?

33:24Am I supposed to be here?

33:25So then for one to go exactly how you wanted it to

33:28and to get a handshake for it, just...

33:29Yeah, just feels great.

33:30I mean, it was the highlight of the show for me

33:33because I've not seen that in the market.

33:35I think you create something really special.

33:37Well done.

33:39APPLAUSE

33:40Let's have some questions from the audience, shall we?

33:45I think so. Tom?

33:47Oh, thanks, Jo.

33:48And has anybody got a question they'd like to ask Toby?

33:51Perfect. Stand up. What's your name?

33:52My name's Liz.

33:53Liz, nice to see you.

33:54What's your question for Toby?

33:55My question is, did you ever get really, really hungry

33:57when you were in the tents?

33:59Because obviously you've got all these cakes around you.

34:01Oh, that's a good question, Toby.

34:03Did you get hungry in there?

34:04No.

34:05You usually feel really...

34:06You usually feel really unwell

34:07because you're tasting everything as you go along

34:09and you start really early

34:11and then you're just consuming insane amounts of sweet, rich food

34:15full of lactose, which is not good for me as well.

34:17So then by the end of the day, you usually just feel very unwell.

34:21I don't know.

34:22Lovely, lovely image to take home, isn't it?

34:25I was expecting that.

34:27No, none of us were.

34:28Thank you, Liz, everybody.

34:30Hello, hello, what's your name, sir?

34:34It's Steve.

34:35Steve, of course it is.

34:37Hi, Toby.

34:38A proper Steve you are too.

34:39Steve.

34:40Hi, Toby.

34:41Gutted to see you leave.

34:42Mmm.

34:43If you were to be on Traitors,

34:45would you like to be a faithful or a traitor

34:48and would you last longer than Joe?

34:50Oh!

34:52Nice job, Steve.

34:56I would have to be a faithful.

34:58I cannot lie at all.

34:59As soon as I start, I go bright red.

35:01So, yeah, I'll be out.

35:02Something a traitor would say.

35:05Yeah, I'll be out on day one.

35:07Would you trust him?

35:08Yes.

35:09Oh, Steve.

35:10But a man crush.

35:11Oh, that's lovely.

35:13Well, it's the moustache, isn't it?

35:14It is.

35:15Thank you, Steve.

35:17Hello, stand up.

35:18Stand up.

35:19What's your name?

35:20Charlie.

35:21Charlie's here.

35:22Charlie, what's your question for young Toby?

35:23Um, yeah, so sorry that you went, Toby.

35:24Yes, we're all sorry, but it's competition.

35:26Yeah.

35:27So, cooking for Prue and Paul must be so stressful,

35:30and I'm being...

35:31It's actually baking, by the way, Charlie.

35:32Oh, sorry.

35:33Sorry.

35:34It's not the Great British cook-off, is it?

35:36Fake?

35:37Can you cut that out?

35:38No, I'm afraid not.

35:40I'm afraid not.

35:41This is the stuff viewers love.

35:43So, baking for Prue and Paul looks really stressful.

35:48When you're not being judged and pulled apart,

35:50who do you actually like baking for, for fun, and why?

35:53I'm exceptionally greedy, so myself.

35:55But just anybody who will take it, really.

35:58Whenever there's an event,

35:59always try and put on as much of a spread as I can.

36:01What, like who?

36:02Friends? Neighbours?

36:03Yeah.

36:04Yeah.

36:05Yeah.

36:06We've got one more.

36:08Time for one more.

36:09One more question.

36:10Somebody.

36:11Hello, hello, hello.

36:12What's your name?

36:13Claire.

36:14Claire, hello, Claire.

36:15Nice to meet you.

36:16Nice to meet you too, Claire.

36:17But we're not here for me, we're here for Toby, aren't we?

36:19Exactly.

36:20Yes, what's your question be on Toby?

36:21If there was a bake that you could do in the tent again,

36:24what would it be and why?

36:25A redemption bake, Toby.

36:27What would it be?

36:28A framboisio.

36:29Oh!

36:30It couldn't go...

36:32It couldn't go much worse.

36:33No.

36:34It's the only ways up.

36:35The only ways up.

36:36Lovely.

36:37Thank you, Claire.

36:38I think I've exhausted this audience quite long enough

36:41and so back to you, Jo.

36:43Thank you, Tom.

36:44Now, I've been told, Toby, by a very reliable source,

36:47well, to be fair, it was Alison, so not that reliable,

36:50but you've got an incredibly impressive hidden talent

36:53that you're going to show us.

36:55So, take your position.

36:57APPLAUSE

37:02Oh!

37:03Jo, I've got to learn, because you're going to have a go at it, OK?

37:07LAUGHTER

37:08What, Toby?

37:09What are you going to do?

37:10So, it's a pistol squat...

37:12Pardon?

37:13LAUGHTER

37:14You'll be all right, you've just been to the toilet.

37:16LAUGHTER

37:18Pistol squat and a water drop sound with my cheek.

37:23All right, off we go.

37:25Ooh!

37:26Ooh!

37:27Ooh!

37:28Ooh!

37:29Ooh!

37:30Ooh!

37:31Ooh!

37:32Ooh!

37:33Wow.

37:34Look at that core strength, Jo!

37:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

37:43So, just pick up one foot.

37:44Sure.

37:45Sure, yeah.

37:46LAUGHTER

37:47Jo, can you do that?

37:48Jo, pick up one foot.

37:49Can you do that bit?

37:50Any time, whenever you're ready.

37:52LAUGHTER

37:53No, your toe, if you can.

37:54D'accordo, then.

37:56LAUGHTER

37:57Then stretch it out.

37:59You're taking the absolute...

38:01LAUGHTER

38:03And then...

38:04CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

38:10Right, and then...

38:12And then just...

38:13Easy, all the way down.

38:14Grab his forearm!

38:16Oh!

38:17And up we go!

38:20Really easy, it's really...

38:23Cherish, you've also got some skills.

38:26Apparently, you're a black belt in taekwondo.

38:29Whoa!

38:31And I wondered if you'd care to demonstrate using Jo as a...

38:35LAUGHTER

38:36Sure!

38:37In for a penny!

38:38Over to the measure, then.

38:40LAUGHTER

38:41APPLAUSE

38:48OK, yes, absolutely.

38:49Hello!

38:50Hello!

38:51Hello!

38:52LAUGHTER

38:53Are you serious?

38:54Oh, hang!

38:55You're terrifying, man!

38:56LAUGHTER

38:57What's your head?

38:58Back to yourself.

38:59Jumby!

39:00Jumby!

39:01Ah!

39:02Ah, Jesus!

39:03LAUGHTER

39:04LAUGHTER

39:05APPLAUSE

39:06Cherish everyone.

39:10I'm the power share.

39:11I'm the power...

39:13I'm going to pay you £300 a month to never do that to me again.

39:16LAUGHTER

39:17Well, stay with us, Toby, because Tom's on his way with a special gift for you.

39:22See you in a bit.

39:23APPLAUSE

39:24APPLAUSE

39:25Welcome back.

39:26I'm here with Cherish, Catherine, Jo, and Toby's here too.

39:40Right, it's time for an exclusive peek inside a celebrity baker's kitchen.

39:45MUSIC PLAYS

39:55It's a lovely kitchen.

39:57Someone who likes apples.

39:59So, something to do with apples.

40:02Possibly.

40:06What are you thinking, Jo?

40:08Honestly, I think it's my Aussie fan.

40:11LAUGHTER

40:12Oh, is that King Charles?

40:14It is indeed.

40:16Who's got a King Charles?

40:17What is that now?

40:18Like an apple pie?

40:19Ooh, ooh.

40:20So, you think it's your Aunty Pam.

40:23Do you know what?

40:24It...I think it is.

40:25LAUGHTER

40:26I've been dead 14 years.

40:28LAUGHTER

40:30It's a woman in a power suit.

40:32Power suit's good.

40:33Yeah.

40:34And it's like an older woman.

40:35Melinda Gates.

40:37LAUGHTER

40:39Is that likely?

40:42Madonna.

40:43Ooh!

40:44LAUGHTER

40:45There was a clue there with a jar of honey.

40:48Can we stick with Madonna?

40:50LAUGHTER

40:51Sticking with Madonna.

40:52Let's just have a look, shall we?

40:57Oh, it's Gloria Honeyford.

41:00APPLAUSE

41:03Now, back to you, Toby, and no mystery here.

41:06It's Tom with his trolley.

41:07APPLAUSE

41:11Hi!

41:15Oh, hello, Toby.

41:17How are you?

41:18Yeah, good, thanks.

41:19Good.

41:21What was the best thing about being on Bake Off?

41:23You hate it, but it is the people.

41:25Oh!

41:26A very close second is you don't have to clean up after yourself at all, ever.

41:29Never.

41:30That's original.

41:31I like that.

41:32You never see them.

41:33But as soon as you've finished the bake, they swarm the tent.

41:35And then all of a sudden, all your mess is gone.

41:39Wow.

41:40I'd like people like that.

41:41Now, Toby, I'm afraid it is time to say goodbye.

41:44But as the old saying goes, when life gives you lemon macarons,

41:48make a lemon macaron stand.

41:50Am I right?

41:52You've been such a fantastic baker.

41:53I think my personal favourite of yours was your rollercoaster

41:56with a goat living under it.

41:58I mean, who cares if it was a bit cliched?

42:01Everyone knows that's where goats live.

42:04Anyway, I wouldn't be too disappointed.

42:06You've had some wonderful highlights.

42:08Not least, of course, when Paul gave you one of his,

42:10what did you call it again?

42:11His handies.

42:13Oh, yes.

42:14Lucky you.

42:15Lord knows I've been waiting years for mine.

42:17We wish you all the luck in the world, Toby,

42:24especially when Pringles come looking for a new face to put on their tubes.

42:31Toby, thank you very much. You've been wonderful.

42:37Thanks, Tom.

42:38Now, Toby, let's take a look back at your time in the tent.

42:41I'm absolutely f***ing myself, to be honest.

42:44What's been going on in your life?

42:46Well, I've been doing this.

42:49Genoise sponge with...

42:50Oh, gosh, yes.

42:51...Evelle Grey.

42:52That's good.

42:53It's delicious, and I've never seen that before.

42:56Wow.

42:57Looks like an English pilot in Second World War.

43:00I'll take it all day long.

43:01Number one.

43:03These look really good.

43:04Prue said...

43:05I think that's a perfect tub nob.

43:06Which I will wear as a badge of honour forever.

43:08It's really light.

43:09Absolutely delicious.

43:11Mm.

43:12Oh, it's lovely, yeah.

43:13Very light and summery.

43:14Good job, Toby.

43:15Well done.

43:16I can't even believe we got here in the first place, so...

43:18Toby.

43:19I'm in sheer disbelief that I've made it this far.

43:21Star Baker.

43:23Oh, yeah!

43:24Yeah.

43:25Great achievement.

43:26OK, Tom.

43:27Time for the grand unveiling.

43:35There you are, Toby, with your Bex biscuits, handshake-worthy apple pie meringues, rollercoaster tart and Techie Toby badge.

43:39Toby, everyone!

43:40So, it's time to round off with the Extra Slice Celebrity Challenge.

43:52Let's find out what they'll be forced to do this week.

43:54It's over to the Selectatron.

44:09It's whipped to a frenzy.

44:22APPLAUSE

44:24OK, now, you've each got a bowl of fruit.

44:28The goal is to land as much fruit as you can onto our whipped cream-covered target.

44:35Bring on the target!

44:36APPLAUSE

44:38It's a bonnet of sorts. It's very Jane Austen.

44:56So, Cherish, you've got blueberries, Joe's got raspberries and Catherine has grapes.

45:02Now, the person who manages to land the most fruit on the whipped cream, one piece at a time, OK, wins.

45:13All right.

45:14On your marks, get set, go!

45:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

45:19All right, time's running out.

45:36Get rid of as much of your fruit as you can.

45:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

45:45Are you all right there, Tom?

45:48OK, before I reveal the results, let's just take a look at an action replay.

45:55LAUGHTER

45:56Well...

45:57LAUGHTER

46:01The most fruit is, on Tom's head, the blueberries.

46:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

46:07Cherish, well done.

46:08APPLAUSE

46:09Nicely done. The Taekwondo, I think, helps.

46:11That's it for this week.

46:13A huge thanks to Tom, Toby and to our celebrity guest,

46:17Cherish Fyndham, Catherine Ryan and Joe Wilkinson.

46:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

46:23See you next time for the final.

46:25Goodbye.

46:26APPLAUSE

46:38Yeah.

46:39Yeah.

46:41I can't wait...

46:43Oh, yeah.

46:45Yeah.

46:46A big, yeah.

46:48That's awesome, and thank you, James.
