While Selasi became known for his laidback nature when it came to his cooking, Val is remembered for being delightfully sweet as well as her close bond with her smooth-talking competitor.
They later melted hearts as they spoke about their love for each other to Noel Fielding.
“She’s my favourite OAP!” said Selasi of the 67-year-old former headteacher.
“…And he’s my favourite adopted son,” added Val.

Having them return to the show alongside series four’s Paul Jaggar (creator of the famed lion showstopper) and Becca Lyne-Pirkis was clearly a winner in the viewer’s eyes on Christmas Evening.
All four were on fine form with a series of the show's famed one-liners and cheeky remarks.

At one point Val threatens to send judge Paul Hollywood to the "naughty step" after he made a naughty comment towards her.
In another moment, Paul Hollywood left the ladies of the tent blushing as he complimented them on their "lovely globes".
