Last night's Great British Bake Off final was one of the best we've ever seen. Nadiya, whose facial expressions were almost as good as her Showstoppers, made us cry when she was crowned the winner. Like, properly cry. We needed tissues.

And when Mary Berry gently wiped a tear away from Nadiya's face and got emotional herself, well, we were just GONE.

Speaking to the camera after Nadiya was handed her trophy, Mary said: "I'm really proud of Nadiya, so not confident to start with and over the weeks she's grown and grown, and learnt herself that she could do it.

"And when she came to the final today she was nervous but she had, sort of, a look like 'I'm going to do it' and she did. Sheer perfection.

"I enjoyed every minute," she added before looking overcome with emotion and walking off camera.
