Bake Off fans go wild after Alice Fevronia teases the show’s ‘secret couple’ in Instagram pic
GREAT British Bake Off finalist Alice Fevronia sent fans wild earlier today after she hinted at the show's secret couple in an Instagram post.
The Sun exclusively revealed the 28-year-old Geography teacher was dating fellow contestant Henry Bird, before she insisted the student was just a friend earlier this month.
Alice Fevronia previously posted a snap featuring her, finalist David Atherton, and former Bake Off contestants Henry and Michael Chakraverty, and wrote: "But how many couples can you see...? 🤦🏻♀️ #GBBO."
The cosy four-way could have been a cheeky nod to our exclusive revealing Alice's closeness to Henry, which is certainly what one of Alice's followers thought, writing: "OMG is this a response to THAT 👀 article??? I love it 😂."
Others were just happy to see their favourite bakers getting along so well.
One wrote: "The love is sooooo apparent! I love this squad ❤️❤️❤️."
A second posted: "Stop toying with my heart, I've fallen for all of you!! 😘🤩."
Tonight Baker Off fans will watch Alice go head to head with health adviser David, 36, and shop assistant Steph Blackwell, 28, for the series title.
Steph is the bookies' favourite thanks to her four star baker wins, whereas David is the outsider having never won the accolade.
Since filming finished in the summer Alice and Henry have been seen together on a number of occasions and often post pictures with each other.
But the Londoner shut down any reports of romance as she shared a series of pictures with Henry and told her followers: “Brother from another mother .”
Fans were convinced they were dating after another co-star Michael wrote “Such a beautiful couple”, underneath one of their pictures.
And when Henry, who is a student in Durham, was voted off viewers felt like their hug showed just how close they were.
According to sources, the teacher introduced Henry to her friends, giving the impression that things are going well between the two.

One source gushed: “The Bake Off contestants do become very close, and Alice and Henry hit it off from the start as they have a lot in common.
“They confided in each other a lot during the process, which can be quite intense at times.
“And since filming finished they have been spending more time together — including a few dates.”
Fans were left fuming when Henry was axed from the show after Paul was disgusted with his towering pie.
Paul tore Henry's vertical pie to shreds, complaining: "It's bone dry. All the moisture's come out the hole in the top."
He added: "It's a shame. Do you know what it tastes like? Mince pie."
Henry took his dumping in his stride and replied to Paul: "It has been a pleasure, darling."
Fans were less measured, with one wailing: "Absolutely gutted Henry has gone. He was my absolute favourite and it won't be the same without him ."
Another said: "Henry!!!! No. No please god reverse time!! "
A third threatened to fight tough-talking Paul in the street after his stinging verdict on the lad's showstopper.
