The Great British Bake Off fans have taken to social media to root for their favourite contestant.

Jürgen impressed judges Paul and Prue with his Black Forest mini rolls last week but his malt loaf in the technical challenge needed improvement, but he soon pulled it back with his showstopper which was a large standing lamp over a reading book.

Paul said he could be on the way to becoming the flavour king of the competition.

Fans have taken to Twitter to praise the contestant: "I don’t think I’ve ever found a bake off contestant more endearing than Jurgen. I just love him so much #GBBO"

Another said: "Ok Jurgen on bake off has just cheered up my year. He makes me laugh. Legend. Loving the new series #GBBO #GreatBritishBakeOff #Jurgen #Winner"

A third person tweeted: "If Jurgen doesn’t win the whole event I’m done #bakeoff"

During this week's show 'Biscuit Week' the contestants have been tasked with making brandy snaps and jam sandwich biscuits.
