Jade Thirwall has Celebrity Bake Off viewers in tears over final bake

Jade Thirwall swapped singing for baking as she took part in Celebrity Bake Off.

The Little Mix star took part in the special Bake Off episode alongside KSI, Stacey Dooley and and Katherine Ryan for Stand Up To Cancer.

And Jade, 27, certainly impressed as Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood tasked the celebs with creating fondant fancies, a lattice cherry pie and a showstopper made up of biscuits and meringue.

But as Little Mix fans tuned into the episode to see Jade, many were left in tears at the end as she dedicated her bake to her bandmates.

Jade decided that she was going to replicate one of the girlbands concerts as a representation of the one thing she "can’t live without."

So, she set about making herself, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jesy Nelson out of gingerbread

But fans felt super emotional as Jesy announced at the end of last year that she was to leave the band after nine years citing the toll being in the group had on her mental health.

The celebrity series was filmed before Jesy announced her split from the band in December, with the remaining three continuing on as a trio.

And fans flooded social media with their thoughts as they saw Jade's showstopper.

“JADE MAKING LITTLE MIX BECAUSE THEY ARE SOMETHING SHE CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT OMG I’LL RIGHT BACK I’M CRYING," one wrote.

Another said: "Why am I so emotional at Jade making Little Mix biscuits #gbbo."

"No but jade baking little mix for "something you can't live witouth" my heart #GBBO," a third added.

A fourth said: "Not me crying at there being 4 members of little mix #gbbo," alongside a broken heart emoji.

"Not gonna lie I welled up that Jade baked Little Mix as a four. (Please don't tell me it was filmed before the announcement, let me dream) #GBBO," another commented.

In the end it was Jade who emerged victorious after impressing Paul and Prue in all three challenges.

She shared on Twitter after the show aired: "I'M A WINNER, BABY. Thank you for having me @BritishBakeOff that was such a laugh. If you can, please keep donating to @SU2CUK.

"They're such a worthy cause so let's help them raise as much as possible."
