Here’s the Bake Off quarter-final theme, and exactly what challenges the bakers will face during episode 8.

The Great British Bake Off quarter-final is officially here, with just five bakers remaining in the competition.

It was a Free From extravaganza last week, which saw Paul Hollywood doppelganger Gary exit the tent, while Gabe earned his first Star Baker title. He heads into tonight’s (Tuesday, November 10) episode alongside Connie, Mo, Moyin, and Tom.

The end of the competition is officially in sight, so here’s what time Bake Off is on tonight - and this week’s sticky theme.

To mark the quarter-final, it is Caramel Week on The Great British Bake Off.

A decidedly sugar-heavy theme, during tonight’s signature challenge the bakers must impress the judges with their take on a treacle tart.

As for the technical challenge, the judges are looking for a towering millionaire shortbread, which may seem simple but has several elements which could prove tricky.

Finally, for the quarter-final showstopper the bakers must create a nougatine sculpture showpiece.
