The Great British Bake Off, which follows the journey of twelve contestants as they compete in a streak of challenges to win the top spot, recently returned to television screens with season 14.
Among the twelve contestants competing to win the show are British Asian Dana Conway and Saku Chandrasekara who have made fans really curious ever since the show premiered last month.
This week’s episode saw the bakers tackle biscuits in a signature, technical, and showstopper challenge and Dana and Saku both managed to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith with their baking skills.
Both the judges were very happy with Saku's creation with Prue describing her biscuits as 'very pretty'.
Paul said, ‘I think your flavours are really good. The jam comes through, the biscuit - you do get that pistachio flavour.'
Viewers praised Saku’s joyful nature and said they were supporting her to go all the way. One viewer took to X and declared they had a huge amount of love for the 50-year-old contestant already.
“Everyone on this year's Bake Off is wholesome and gorgeous but I want Saku to adopt me...” said another.
“Weekly biscuits? Yes please,” a third user said.
One person who described the baker as 'adorable' added: 'I am completely team Saku!'
Dana Conway, 25, has also been able to garner the attention of the public despite a rough start on the show. She has also progressed to the next round.
Meanwhile, chartered accountant Keith has become the second contestant to be eliminated from the show. Participation officer Tasha, 27, who is deaf, was declared Star Baker during Tuesday’s (3 October) episode.
The Great British Bake Off will be on Channel 4 every Tuesday night at 8 pm.
Perry's onstage quip about "Englishmen" felt like a deliberate signal.
Those yacht photos are, frankly, undeniable.
It started with a Montreal dinner most people missed.
Both are out of long-term relationships.
Well, she’s as good as confirmed it, hasn’t she? Katy Perry just tossed a verbal grenade into her London concert, and the pieces all point to Justin Trudeau. That line about Englishmen? You do not say that by accident. It lands just days after those, let's face it, pretty steamy pictures of them surfaced on her boat. This Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau thing is suddenly feeling very real, shifting from rumours to a full-blown celebrity romance.

So what did she actually say?
Mid-show at the O2, looking out at the crowd, she hits them with this: "London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night?... No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time."
Pause.
Then came the kicker: "...but not anymore." The place erupts. It was too specific, too perfectly timed. And then, almost as if scripted, some fan proposes to her. Her comeback was: "I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago." What is that, if not a nod to a new, serious someone?
Let’s talk about the yacht. The Daily Mail got those shots and, while grainy, the story they tell is crystal clear. The photos were taken off the coast of Santa Barbara, on her 78-foot Caravelle. He is pulling her in, kissing her cheek. His hand was on her backside in another frame. This follows that low-key Montreal dinner in July that almost flew under the radar.

Where does this leave everyone?
Right, let us look at the context. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom only finalised their split recently, with the co-parenting news coming out in July. Justin Trudeau’s marriage to Sophie Grégoire also ended last year. Both are prominent figures with busy lives who have only just become single. Sources are already saying he has been "persistent," flying to see her on tour breaks. It has the feel of something that is accelerating fast. And Perry, with that London comment, seems ready to let it.
