Digital Production Manager Victoria Gray on why she's hooked on GBBO:

Like that birthday cake that tastes so much better after a couple of days in a tin, The Great British Bake Off only gets better with age.

Tonight’s final is one of the most exciting in the show’s history, mainly because the series itself has given us no clues of who could triumph. As we’ve sliced away the staler contestants (remember Stu and his hat, anybody?), some true stars have emerged, and it’s neck and neck going into the final.

We are huge fans of Tamal Ray (if you couldn’t tell already) – the multi-talented junior doctor who filmed this series of Bake Off while passing his MD exams, and, as we’ve discovered from his Instagram, making wedding cakes for his friends. Plus he’s a feminist. Enough said.

But we would also love to see Nadiya Hussein triumph – the Leeds-based mum who wears her heart on her sleeve, or more precisely through her facial expressions. Her hilarious reactions to almost anything that happens in the tent have won us all over, and even before the result is announced she’s poised to land a book deal. Her performance in the last few episodes has lined her up in a strong position to win.

And that’s not to say that they won’t be strongly challenged by Ian, a photographer from Cambridge who has a penchant for adding roadkill to his bakes. He won star baker three times in a row, and could well come up from behind to take the winner’s crown.

And this is what’s fantastic about Bake Off.

Unlike other reality shows, it’s difficult to predict, but the outcome is always positive and loving – everyone from the judges to the presenters are rooting for the contestants.

And this has also been the series with the most mini-disasters, from melted black forest gateaux to tumbling éclair towers.

Who’s to say tonight won’t result in a dropped cake or two? I can’t wait.

Telly addicts rejoice: tonight sees two great series finales hit our screens
