Whoever ultimately wins this series of GBBO, it’s clear that one contestant has won the hearts of viewers.
That would be Selasi Gbormittah, the biker banker who is as cool as the other side of the pillow.
Selasi works in a financial institution. Colleagues all crave his cupcake distribution https://t.co/tjzmCniX6L #GBBO pic.twitter.com/lQu3Ztbrvi

The 30-year-old is originally from Ghana and moved to Britain 15 years ago.
He works as a Client Service Associate in a financial institution in London, where he lives with his girlfriend. Sorry ladies.
Over the last two weeks, viewers have been completely won over by him. How could you not like anyone who makes an entrance like this:

And since then, the unbridled lust has just intensified:
Selasi. He could scotch my bonnet whenever he wanted amirite ladies? #GBBO.

The Selasi situation is officially out of control. #GBBO pic.twitter.com/VpvY9hMxS8

A huge part of his appeal is how damn chill he is ALL the time.
I just want Selasi to hold my hand and walk through life with me. He's so calming #GBBO @BritishBakeOff

I'm going to make a fortune producing "What Would Selasi Do?" bracelets. #gbbo

Once again, while the rest of the kitchen goes nuts, Selasi casually eats a leftover biscuit and ponders his next holiday. #GBBO

Selasi is a grown man making racecar biscuits and it hasn't diminished his cool factor one bit #GBBO

Though not everyone is convinced:
I DO NOT LIKE SELASI. HE IS INFURIATING. #GBBO

Mostly, though, people are enjoying watching Selasi work his, ahem, utensils.

I just want somebody to look at me the way Selasi looks at Scotch bonnets. #GBBO pic.twitter.com/gv9ovYEm6K

He’s won the hearts of the nation in just a fortnight.
Selasi likes baking, basketball and bikes #GBBO pic.twitter.com/IggS1hA0Bk
