Sorry, Breadxit

Don't panic, they have to invoke Arctic Roll 50 and that could take years. #gbbo

Given Channel 4′s recent history of shows, there are legitimate worries

People are taking it well though

Bake Off leaving BBC is like your dad leaving mum. You still get to see him but in a flat above a Dominos with deckchairs instead of a sofa.
