Great British Bake Off 2018 LIVE: Will Manon remain frontrunner in week 2?
Britain’s most beloved and pastel-hued baking show returned last week, with a batch of new Great British Bake Off contestants taking a break from skipping merrily in a park to try and get Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith’s taste buds tingling.
The second series to air on Channel 4 kicked off with biscuit week and saw the 12 newcomers tasked with creating a set of traditional biscuits inspired by something personal to them. A gentle enough start – unlike the technical challenge, which featured some devilishly tricky marshmallow-making as the new dozen were asked to make wagon wheels.
Following a difficult showstopper that saw the bakers make selfie biscuits, France’s own Manon was voted star baker, while Imelda was voted out (narrowly losing to Terry).
After the shock to the system that was a non-cake-based opening week, will the show give the people they sponge they demand in week two?

Mushed cake everywhere. They should do that thing they do in war movies when all the sound fades out and you can only hear a high-pitched ringing and everyone's just staring at each other blankly.
