It’s the final of the Great British Bake Off tonight and today the makers of the show shared a letter sent by one of the contestants, Terry Hartill.

Terry lost his place on the show last month and only afterwards did viewers find out that he went on Bake Off to help him keep busy after the death of his wife.

And this is the letter from Terry that they shared today and it’s giving everyone feelings all over again.

And here’s what he said.

I would like to express a massive thank you to everybody who has supported me and my family over the last few months.

We are so overwhelmed by the huge response we have received and I am particularly grateful for all your kind words online and on social media.

It has been a difficult time since the loss of my wife and when my daughter applied for the show on my behalf we could never have expected the wonderful reaction that we have experienced and continue to receive.

In the tent it was tough and difficult at times (a melting Eiffel Tower for example). I thank you all for seeing the vision!

But it has been so very enjoyable and I have made some wonderful lifelong friends. I am very excited for the future and again would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for their love and encouragement.

Yours Terry X
