Mary Berry Has Quit 'The Great British Bake Off' And Everyone Is Freaking Out

"Looking forward to the BBC’s upcoming show, Mel, Sue and Mary Getting Drunk And Chatting Sh*t In A Patisserie"

Mary Berry has officially quit her role as cake judge on ‘The Great British Bake Off’ “out of loyalty to the BBC” ahead of the show’s move to Channel 4.

Following on from the high profile resignations of ‘Bake Off’ hosts Mel and Sue, and with the world still reeling from Brangelina’s split, everyone promptly started freaking out.

A naked Paul Hollywood wanders the empty Bake Off tent.
"Hello?" he shouts.
There is no reply.
He hugs a Battenberg.
It cannot offer love.
