The "Bake Off" Contestants Just Went Out For Dinner And It Was Wonderful

They've formed friendships for life.

Everyone who watches Bake Off knows that this year has been all about the friendships between the bakers.

They've consistently supported each other both inside the tent...

...and outside the tent.

Valasi is the purest friendship of them all.

So it will come as no surprise to anyone that last night, the night before the final, the bakers came together for one last dinner.

So I am spending my evening having dinner with the #gbbo 2016 family. Love them all!!!

Rav called them his family!

The whole gang were out in force.

It was an evening of joy...

...laughter...

...jokes...

...and lots of blurry selfies.

Most of the selfies were taken by Rav.

Sweet, lovely Rav.

Obviously, Val tweeted the sweetest message of all time.

Having dinner with friends it is so natural and lovely to sit here and listen into their laughter and chatter

"So natural!"

And it didn't end there! The next morning, they all went out for breakfast together.

Bake Off finalists, it's been emotional.

Great pre-final night with the #gbbo crew, genuinely such a kind, hilarious bunch 🙌🏻

But you guys will be friends for life.
