It can get very stressful in The Great British Bake Off
tent. But one baker has seemed to have more ups and down than anyone else.
Yes, we’re talking about Andrew Smyth.
From escaping elimination to being crowned star baker this week, he’s been on a bit of a roller coaster ride during his time on the show.
But we don’t just love Andrew for his delicious looking roulade, he’s also provided some of the best facial expressions from the entire series. Whether it’s tears, triumphs… or proudly wearing his bread basket on it head, we’re all just like Andrew at heart.
We’ve rounded up the times Andrew’s facial expressions were the perfect reactions to life’s biggest problems…
1. When someone tells you they’ve been to the gym every day this week
Andrew RN. He's coming for you 🌟 bakers! #GBBO #DessertWeek pic.twitter.com/gY51ndo5VS

Every day? We’re far too busy for that. Running up the stairs counts as exercise right?
2. When your friend asks who finished the bottle of wine
First place in the Technical! Permission to smile now, Andrew. #DessertWeek #GBBO pic.twitter.com/ybDHAnKYnU

Ahem… guilty! You have no regrets.
3. When you’re the first one at the buffet and can’t help yourself

No one will notice if it’s a couple of cocktail sausages short…
4. When someone takes the last biscuit

There’s nothing you can do except sit there and pretend you’re not hurting inside.
5. When you’re told it’s last orders at the bar
Oh Andrew, don’t start us off 😢 #GBBO pic.twitter.com/MLXMcsVYBX

It’s always too soon.
6. When the kids make you a present and then make you wear it

Because you appreciate the effort they put in. Whether it’s made of bread or clay you will always love it. Even if it’s not the most comfortable thing in the world.
7. When the kids Just. Won’t. Go. To. Sleep

How can they still be running round the house at 11pm?
8. But then they finally do go to sleep and life is good
Delight for Andrew as he’s crowned Star Baker. But there’s no time to relax.
Next week another baker will be history in #TudorWeek.🍗👑 #GBBO pic.twitter.com/xYnqbL3XiN— BBC One (@BBCOne) October 5, 2016
Thank goodness. You thought it would never happen.
9. When your partner asks if you fancy a take away

YES. You thought they would never ask and it’s genuinely the highlight of your week.
10. When the kids ask where babies come from

Oh no no no no no. Not now. You’re not ready for this.
