Great British Bake Off - as it happened: Dessert week is here, but was there an editing error?

All the action from the Berkshire tent as the contestants take on week four

Great British Bake Off 2018 Trailer

Britain’s most beloved and pastel-hued baking show is back once more, with a batch of new Great British Bake Off contestants taking a break from skipping merrily in a park to try and get Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith’s taste buds tingling.

Last episode was bread week, as contestants tried to impress with Chelsea buns, while the technical challenge – non-yeast naan bread – proved a difficult bake to master. The gang then grappled with the devilishly difficult showstopper (korovai, a traditional bread in Eastern Europe that’s mainly associated with weddings).

Rahul was named Star Baker for the second week in a row, with Antony was sadly sent packing.

Watch all the action as it happened below (please allow a moment for it to load).

The technical challenge: a rasberry blancmange and some langues de chat AKA cat's tongues. But not actual cat tongues. It's just that someone intimately familiar with what a cat's tongue looks like decided to name a biscuit.

The flipping of the mould. The greatest terror of Bake Off.

Manon's blancmange is a perfect representation of me this entire summer.

Dan has won the technical with a definitely set blancmange. Congrats!

The final, Showstopper challenge: chocolate ball desserts. Although everyone seems to be avoiding describing their entry as a ball. We've had sphere so far, then egg... Dan just called it "Dan and the Giant Peach".

Kim-Joy might not be sure where the "turtles in space" theme came from but, uh, maybe this will ring a bell with her

Or she might know it from this...

Oh, Briony! It hurts to watch.
