The first challenge of the semi-final of The Great British Bake Off saw some fantastically vintage moments in the tent.
With the bakers tasked with creating 24 savoury puff pastry palmiers, there were some funny moments as each of the four remaining contestants had more air time than ever before.
For one of the hopefuls, it seemed the fame was getting to his head a bit as Selasi Gbormittah attempted to take over the job of presenters Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc.
He shouted out to his fellow bakers that there were “two more hours” to go in the challenge.
Selasi, you’re a VERY naughty boy! 😂😂 #GBBO pic.twitter.com/UPRIVBFyR2

This prompted Sue to shout out: “Are you doing me out of a job mate? This is all I had! I was like the speaking clock but with puns, that’s all we had!”
Fans on Twitter were up in arms over Selasi’s cheeky takeover while others thought Sue mentioning “this is all I had” a bit sad, given that this is her penultimate episode on the Bake Off before it moves to Channel 4.

Mel and Sue ganging up on Selasi for stealing their job was really funny. Then i remembered someone will be doing their job next year #GBBO pic.twitter.com/xG2UNll3le

Selasi didn't know back then but he was auditioning to substitute both Sue AND Mary when he did that #GBBO

Selasi seemed to find out about Mel, Sue and Mary leaving #GBBO early so he's using the semi-finals to practice their jobs 😂

That bit with Mel, Sue and Selasi made me laugh and then I cried because I realised it will never be better than this again 😢 #GBBO

Meanwhile, Mel was left having to reapply Candice Brown’s lipstick as it had almost completely disappeared during her bake.
“You without lipstick is not right”

Known and respected for her love of a strong lip, it was all viewers on Twitter could do not to implode over the impossibly cute, girl-power moment.
