The Bake Off final was an emotional time — and not just inside the tent.
Viewers were treated to video montages outlining each of the finalists’ back stories, and whether it was Ruby’s tearful mum, or the British couple who ‘adopted’ Rahul, it was almost too much wholesomeness to handle.

Bake Off winner Rahul was seen hanging out with his friends David and Liz, who took him under their wing when he first moved to Sheffield.
Rahul arrived in England on his own eight years ago. He had no family or friends in the country. David and Liz took him under their wing. The kindness of strangers can go a long way to making a huge difference. #GBBOFinal pic.twitter.com/S3VbbBpw2W

“They adopted him! Like actual Paddington!,” journalist and author Sathnam Sanghera wrote, before later posting: “An Indian engineering researcher living in Sheffield with an English couple and winning a British baking show by making mango-filled doughnuts. Nice to be reminded that despite our stupid politics, this is Britain in 2018.”

“Just going to spend the rest of the night weeping about how lovely Rahul’s friend David is and trying to connect with him on LindkedIn so he can endorse my life,” Lauren Rellis posted on Twitter.

“Catching up on #GBBO & already in tears at David and Liz saying how their lives would be poorer if they hadn’t met Rahul – this series has been the NICEST in years,” another Twitter user posted.

Meanwhile Ruby’s mum broke all our hearts with an emotional tribute to her daughter.
“I will be the proudest mum in the world to see my daughter winning the Bake Off,” she said, as she tried to hold back the tears.

Viewers also saw Kim-Joy chilling at home with her partner and friends — and discovered her second-favourite hobby (besides baking, of course)….
