Geography teacher Alice, 28, has also introduced student Henry, 20, to her friends.

They are the show’s first contestants to find romance with a rival baker.

Viewers last week saw Alice hugging an upset Henry after his showstopper melted.

One source said: “The Bake Off contestants do become very close, and Alice and Henry hit it off from the start as they have a lot in common.

“They confided in each other a lot during the process, which can be quite intense at times.

“And since filming finished they have been spending more time together — including a few dates.

"It is early days but they are a lovely couple and seem very happy.

“Pals have been joking that it’s the cherry on top of the experience.”

Alice, from Essex, and Henry, from Durham, have posted a string of loved-up snaps on Instagram to fellow contestants’ delight.

Underneath one shot — at London’s Tate Modern this month — baker Michael Chakraverty wrote: “Such a beautiful couple.”

Another contestant, Helena Garcia, added: “You two couldn’t possibly be more adorable.”
