Great British Bake Off viewers spot Henry's sweet tribute to two former bakers and they are all emotional about it

Fans of the Great British Bake Off get very attached to the amateur bakers as they try their best to whip up delicious masterpieces in the pressures of the tent every week.

And viewers were quick to spot a touching gesture young Henry made to his departed pals Helena and Michelle who were involved in a surprising double exit last week.

Halloween-obsessed Helena and Welsh champion Michelle failed to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith and was given the boot alongside during Roaring 20s week.

But 20-year-old student Henry didn't want to let go and attached a Welsh flag pin and a silver spider web brooch to his apron.

Adding to the sweet touch, the online project manager had worn it herself in a previous episode.

And GBBO fans flooded social media when they noticed the little nod.

"Henry's wearing helena's brooch.......gone but not forgotten, gotta stan him in her honour," tweeted one.

Another said: "Henry wearing Spiderweb and tiny Welsh flag badges this week for Helena and Michelle is the support and energy we all need. What a babe."

"Hoooo my gosh, Henry’s wearing a little glittery spider web and welsh flag on his apron and I have died of cute," commented a third.

"Henry wearing a spider brooch in honour of Helena. I'm not crying, you're crying," added another.

This week, it was Priya whose luck ran out during dessert week.

The Great British Bake Off continues with Festival Week on Tuesday at 8pm on Channel 4.
