These 80s Throwback Pics Of The Bake Off Gang Are Nothing Short Of Sensational

As The Great British Bake Off hosted its first ever 80s-themed week on Tuesday, there was an extra gift for fans in the shape of some incredible throwback pictures of the show’s stars.

Judge Paul Hollywood had a trip down memory lane to tie in with the episode, sharing a snap of himself from back in the 80s with his Instagram followers. 

And it can’t be just us that’s getting serious Tom Cruise vibes, right?

Host Matt Lucas then retweeted a collage of pics a Bake Off fan had complied of him, Paul, Prue Leith and Noel Fielding on Twitter – and the pics are nothing shot of sensational…

One person who might now be less of a fan of the 80s, however, is this week’s eliminated baker. 

A fan favourite found themselves axed from the tent after coming unstuck during a tense ice cream cake challenge, which was filmed on the hottest day of the year. 

If you didn’t see the show, it doesn’t take a genius to work out that mixing ice cream and the intense heat of the tent wasn’t exactly the perfect recipe for the bakers, but if you want to know who went home, you can find out here.

Next week will see the remaining five contestants taking on various dessert challenges, as they vie for a place in the semi-final. 

Find out how they get on when Bake Off returns on Tuesday night at 8pm.
