And those who have been devoted fans for the last six years took to their Twitter pages to share their upset and devastation that the show they had come to know and love, is no more.

One wrote: “When you realise you're watching the last GBBO on BBC with Mary, Mel & Sue,” while another added: “It's the last proper Bake Off. A lot of gin will get me through this.”

One upset fan said, "It's just hit me that this is the absolute last ever Bake Off on BBC. I am not OK", while an equally devastated viewers added: "Never gonna hear "On your marks, get set, BAKE!!!!" From Mel and Sue again."

One appeared to have a dig at Channel 4 as they wrote: "So sad this is the last #GBBO in it's original format & place. Won't be the same without the gang & with ads!"

And another fan agreed and added: "Imagine this but without Mary, Mel and Sue. And with adverts."

The show was sold earlier this year to Channel 4 but only judge Paul Hollywood signed on for the move, with Mel Giedroyc, Sue Perkins and Mary Berry turning it down.
