Distraught and without guidance in the world, many ‘GBBO’ fans jumped on Twitter to try and make sense of it all.

Some people were totally in denial

It's fine. Nothing will actually happen until Mary Berry triggers Arctic Roll 50. #Breadxit #GBBO

Some were excited for the changes that might come when the show moves to Channel 4

Bake Off on C4...

Davina: "Bake Off tent, you are live on Channel 4... Please do not swear!"

Oh God, they're going to make Mary Berry do a voice over on a text competition to win £20k and a car #GBBO pic.twitter.com/31Y7KRk5ci

Some couldn’t resist comparing it to their own lives

Bake Off leaving BBC is like your dad leaving mum. You still get to see him but in a flat above a Dominos with deckchairs instead of a sofa.

Bake off moving to Channel 4 is like dunking a biscuit in a cup of tea and having it sink to the bottom #channel4 #bakeoff #Bakexit

#GBBO sad day for #bakeoff fans. Just like my local bookshop turning in to a subway .

People not getting the Bake Off outrage. You wait till the fucking Archers go over to Magic FM - then you'll know it's too late.

#GBBO moving to Ch4 is going to kill my waistline. It was only the lack of advert breaks that stopped me sticking my head in the cake tin!

Bake Off being on C4 means around 12 mins less baking action than on BBC. Will they cut out crucial moments like Val listening to her cakes?

The Beeb have trashed Top Gear, lost Bake Off, and there's no Doctor Who this year. No pressure, @bbcstrictly.
