The Bake Off winner has already been decided, leaving viewers with little else than social media to hazard a guess at who might take the baking crown.
While it appears some contestants didn't have Twitter before starting the show (and have only posted a couple of pictures since), others have well-established accounts and blogs suggesting they want to boost their profiles for possible book deals and TV presenting opportunities once the series ends.
Bets have been suspended on the show after the winners' name apparently leaked online - but who do you think looks the most likely contender judging from the below?
