Great British Bake Off Stars Will Cook On Fire Stoves For The Final

Great British Bake Off Stars Will Cook On Fire Stoves For The Final

The Great British Bake Off finalists will be leaving the tent for the first time to cook on open fire stoves during the British heatwave.

The Great British Bake Off contestants will be completing their final technical challenge on an open fire stove during this week's final.

It was revealed last week that Rahul, Kim-Joy and Ruby will be the first contestants to complete a challenge outside of the tent.

As if the final couldn't be any more nerve wracking, the group will be stripped of their fancy cooking equipment and the comfort of the iconic marquee.

The finale was also filmed while Britain was baking during the heatwave in July so the bakers had to use parasols to shield them from the sun while they were cooking on the stoves.

Producers have left the nature of the technical a secret from viewers, just like they do with the contestants, but a source told The Sun that the recipe is 'deceptively simple'.

However, the other challenges for the final have been revealed, and the bakers will be making donuts for the signature bake and spectacular landscape-themed creations in the final showstopper task.

Our mouths are watering already.

When the news of the tent being axed broke, a source told The Mirror: "You won't need ovens or hobs for this challenge. It should be simple, but not everything goes to plan."

Rahul, Kim-Joy and Ruby made it to the finals after Briony left the competition last week and it got pretty emotional.

Presenter Sandi Toksvig delivered the news to the tent while she struggled to hold back tears.

Revealing the news, she said: "So my job now is to be completely professional and not cry at all.

"It's tricky, because we are so fond of all of you and the person who is going home has been a complete force of nature in this tent.

"And I'm afraid the person not going through to the final is Briony."

The Great British Bake Off final will air at 8pm on Channel 4 on Tuesday.
