We’ve seen a whole host of bizarre new characters like Spag Bol, Toad in the hole, Tattoo and Pegasus – who turned out to be Prue Leith.
This weekend saw a continuation of the Bake Off theme with Teeth being revealed as none other than one time queen of the tent, Mel Giedroyc.
She had managed to completely fox the judging panel and hadn’t been brought up as a potential guess even once over the series.
Top of the Teeth guess list was Fearne Cotton, BBC Sport presenter Alex Scott and comedian Su Pollard.

Teeth was knocked out after being placed in the bottom two with fellow mystery celeb, Bear, and it’s their identity that’s now drawn the interest of fans online.
The furry forest dweller has confused viewers with his range of songs and singing styles.
One fan said: “Every time I think I know who Bear is, he sings with a different tone.. I’m so confused.”
Another was equally baffled but wanted Bear to win nonetheless: “Bear sounds like different people in every song he sings. I have no idea who Bear is. I want them to win.”

An eagle eared viewer said: “Just gonna throw out Shaun Wallace as a rando guess for Bear.”
Another used his Chaser name from the ITV gameshow to put his name in the mix: “Dark destroyer from the chase as the bear?
Once the name out there others seemed to jump on the idea. On TikTok one viewer just said “Shaun Wallace The Chase” and got a flurry of replies like “I can hear this now!” and “Only heard the first few words and that was already my guess.”
Other top guesses include Richard Blackwood, but some fans have started to dissect the clues and have come up with another front runner – singer songwriter Example.
One sleuth broke things down on X: “Based on clues, I’m sticking with Example for Bear. “Craven” - he’s from Fulham. Kisses on the dressing room mirror: Changed The Way You Kissed Me?”
