The Great British Bloke Off (or how it's an all-boys final for the first time)
It’s the show that has fuelled the debate about which of the sexes is better in the kitchen.
And this year, it seems that – much to the dismay of women bakers everywhere – the boys have risen to the occasion.
For the first time in the show’s history, the Great British Bake Off will have an all-male final.
A record 5.5million viewers
tuned in on Tuesday to watch medical student James Morton, company
director Brendan Lynch, and law student John Thwaite beat Daniele
Bryden – the last woman standing – in the programme’s semi-final.
As part of the French patisserie challenge, all four were asked to create delicate petit fours, a strawberry fraisier cake, and ‘showstopping’ choux gateaux.
However, judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry ruled that Miss Bryden’s efforts had failed to meet their exacting standards.
