If you thought that cupcakes and pastries were the only reason to tune into The Great British Bake Off, think again.
One of this year’s contestants, Tamal Ray from Hertfordshire, has sent pulses and Twitter into overdrive.
The 29-year-old trainee anaesthetist has proven that he knows his way around a kitchen but many viewers seem to want to take him into another room in the house.
Here are just a few of the tweets that have been sent about him…
I could literally just watch Tamal eating things and licking his fingers #GBBO
