The final of The Great British Bake Off airs tonight (4 November) and Pretty Little Liars star Tyler Blackburn is very excited.

Queer contestants Aaron and Tom are heading into the showdown, alongside Jasmine, and face the challenge of baking the largest cake in the show’s history.

Ahead of the final, all three posted Instagram images of themselves together.

The post, with the caption “The final is fast approaching. Yeehaaawww,” has attracted a lot of reactions from fans, including Blackburn who wrote: “Love you guys.”

Blackburn shot to fame in 2010, playing Caleb Rivers until the teen drama ended in 2017. He came out as bisexual in 2019, telling Advocate that he’d identified as such since he was a teenager. “I’m queer. I want to feel powerful in my own skin, my own mind and in my own heart,” he said.

We already knew that Bake Off had a big following in the US with people often referring to its positive and friendly energy as the reason it was so popular.

Jasmine has received two Paul Hollywood handshakes and been named star baker five times. Aaron has won star baker once but never a technical challenge.

Tom has also had two Hollywood handshakes, won star baker twice and been first in a technical.
