Ghanaian-born baker is crowned Bake Off's new heartthrob

There were two things getting GBBO viewers hot under the collar last night: contestant Selasi Gbormittah, and the hilarious innuendos.

The Ghanaian-born baker, who moved to the UK 15 years ago, stole viewers' hearts with his cheeky smile and impressive cakes, sending more than a few Bake Off into a frenzy on social media.

The 30-year-old's relaxed demeanor on the BBC One show - which pulled in 11 million viewers - earned him the crown of this series' heartthrob, or 'the new Tamal' as some fans tweeted.

And his relaxed demeanor sealed the deal for fans, who liked his 'I don't understand it, I'm just baking it' approach.

By the end of the episode, there was outrage that fellow contestant Jane Beedle pipped him to the post for star baker.
