‘Great British Bake Off’ Viewers Can’t Handle The Fact That Everyone’s Favourite Liam Has Left The Show

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Everyone has a favourite ‘Great British Bake Off’ contestant each time a new series kicks off, but fans of this year’s show seemed unanimous in their adoration of Liam Charles.

Not only was Liam the youngest contestant, he was cheeky and charming in equal measure, with an arsenal of killer facial expressions (see below), which might explain why so many viewers are struggling to cope with the fact that the 19-year-old won’t be brightening up their soggy Tuesday evenings any more.

The trick is to keep smiling. Thanks for the bakes, the fun and those amazing facial expressions, Liam! #GBBO pic.twitter.com/WbwIvYuMjs

Yep, Tuesday’s (17 Oct) ‘Bake Off’ saw Liam fall at the quarter final hurdle, coming last in the technical challenge when he offered up raw pastry, before unravelling completely with a disastrous three-tiered Savoy cake, which was all stop and no show.

There's there's... something in my eye.
