The Great British Bake Off is down to three contestants ahead of Tuesday night's series finale and it's all to bake for. 

Last week's semi-final saw the bakers challenged more than ever before as they had to navigate the intricate world of Patisserie Week. 

For their Signature, they were tasked with making two batches of eight laminated breakfast pastries and everyone had issues with proofing. 

Ahead of the Technical, judge Paul Hollywood warned the four bakers they had to be "extremely accurate" and it was then revealed they had to make a delicate opera cake. 

For the all-important Showstopper, the four amateur bakers had to create 12 fruit-shaped entremets.

Judges Paul and Dame Prue Leith admitted it was an incredibly close semi-final to judge, but it was Gill who went home.

She had been being 6/4 favourite on betting sites to depart at the semi-final stage, but the star admitted she couldn't be sad about missing out on the final, because she had the "absolute best time".

Dylan Odds-On 

There are now just three contestants remaining heading into Tuesday's final and Dylan remains odds-on favourite to win this year's Bake Off. 

Dylan has been a class act for the majority of the series, which has seen judge Paul dub him the "flavour king". 

Paul also joked earlier this month that he was "sick" of giving Dylan his famed Hollywood Handshakes, after dishing out three to the star. 

However, Dylan proved he is only human during the Signature in the semi-final.

He misread rules and thought he only had two hours rather than three, so he had only been practicing his laminated breakfast pastries for two hours at home. 

Despite this, he more than redeemed himself by winning the Technical and then wowing with his Showstopper, which Paul said was a "work of art". 

Dylan heads into the final as the 4/6 frontrunner to scoop the Bake Off title, and he is a worthy favourite. 

Christiaan One To Watch 

Christiaan went into Tuesday's semi-final as the only one of the quartet yet to win Star Baker. 

However, he soon put that right, as he was by far the best on the night - and what a time to win his first Star Baker of the season. 

Ahead of the Showstopper, Paul admitted Christiaan was "slightly in front" for Star Baker, and he sealed the deal with his "staggeringly beautiful" Showstopper. 

Prue said it was a "work of art", and admitted he "hadn't put a foot wrong" in the Showstopper. Paul agreed, admitting Christiaan had created something "really elegant". 

He was then announced as Star Baker, which effectively confirmed his place in the final. 

Christiaan has been relatively safe from a potential exit throughout most of the competition, and apart from the semi-final, he was only considered for Star Baker in Week 2. However, he has chosen the right time to come into form, and he heads into the finale as the 6/4 second favourite.

Georgie Recovers To Reach Final 

Christiaan finished third in the Technical, but Georgie was fourth - and the round almost saw her quit the competition.

Georgie was left frustrated during the Technical as she didn't understand what to do, and she announced to her shocked fellow bakers: "I'm going. I just don't want to do it."

However, Bake Off co-host Alison Hammond gave her a pep talk and she returned to her station to complete the challenge

While Georgie - who has won two Star Baker awards throughout the series - seemed back on track, she then made an error in the Showstopper. Thankfully for the star, she managed to redeem herself and Prue said her Showstopper tasted "beautiful". 

Following her error-ridden semi-final, she is now the 2/1 outsider on betting apps to win Tuesday night's finale - but any of the three are more than capable of triumphing.
