Great British Bake Off fans may never get to step inside the hallowed white baking tent - but they will now be able to decorate their Twitter feed with it.

A brand new 'tent' emoji was revealed ahead of the show's return tonight.

It will be activated every time the official hashtag #GBBO is used - and people are already loving it.

Amelia Hockey tweeted: "Just when I thought I couldn't love this show anymore they went and did that."

While Bingo Bronson wrote: "I want to live inside this hashtag".

Approving gifs also started to appear.
