The Great British Bake Off contestant Terry Hartill has written an emotional note to fans thanking them for their support through the series.
Earlier in the series, Terry revealed that the show has given him something to focus on following the death of his wife, who passed away in 2017.
Ahead of tonight’s (October 30) Bake Off final, Terry has written an emotional letter to thank fans of the show for their support, adding that he’s been “overwhelmed” by everyone’s kind words.
The letter has been handwritten by Terry and shared by the official Great British Bake Off Twitter account, along with the caption: “On the day of the #GBBOFinal, it’s time to share a letter we’ve recently received from lovely Terry.
“He’s not on social media, but wanted to say thanks for all your kindness and encouragement…”
The letter reads: “I would like to express a massive thank you to everybody who has supported me and my family over the last few months. We are so overwhelmed by the huge response we have received and I am particularly grateful for all your kind words online and on social media.
“It has been a difficult time since the loss of my wife and when my daughter applied for the show on my behalf we never could have expected the wonderful reaction that we have experienced and continue to receive.
“In the tent it was tough and difficult at times (a melting Eiffel Tower for example). I thank you all for seeing the vision!” he continued.
“But it has been so very enjoyable and I have made some wonderful lifelong friends. I am very excited for the future and again would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for their love and encouragement. Yours, Terry x.”
GBBO fans flocked to social media following the special message, posting lovely supportive responses of their own.
The final of The Great British Bake Off will air tonight (October 30) at 8pm on Channel 4 and, for the first time ever, the bakers will be stepping outside the tent to bake their technical challenge.
