You'd be 100% telling an undeniable indisputable downright LIE if you said you didn't shed even the tiniest tear when Candice Brown was giving her Great British Bake Off winning speech last night.

Probably.

It was no Nadiya Hussain from 2015, but it was still massively emosh.

Particularly because we knew that this was the last time we'd ever see the show on the beeb (APART FROM THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL – WHICH YOU CAN READ ABOUT HERE).

But some idiots took it upon themselves to be really horrible to Candice, tweeting ridiculously vile things to her.

Speaking about the trolls on Loose Women today, she said: "I mean it’s hurtful I thought ‘oh I’m making cakes, this is alright’ and then ‘bam look at your face’ or ‘bam look at this’ and I thought ‘OK’ and it’s not in my nature to be mean, I’m not that sort of person at all.

"I thought... if I just answer back in a way ‘well OK, I hope you have a lovely day today’ and ‘you don’t spell my surname like that, it’s spelt this way’ and actually I found that helped me, because yeah it’s hurtful, it’s not nice but actually that’s a tiny tiny amount [of people].

"The support is lovely."

Candice also spoke about her and other finalist Jane Beedle's road trip to France (which we very much hope will be broadcast in some medium or another).

"I love France and you might have noticed I like my little antiques and things like that and Jane goes to France quite a lot and we were saying we should get in a car and just go and go to markets and then she can tell me off for buying random toot and we can bake and eat, so that’s good."
