‘Great British Baking Show’: Dylan & Sumayah Spark Romance Rumors After Weekend Together
Is a romance cooking between Great British Baking Show contestants Dylan and Sumayah? That’s what some fans are speculating after the pair just spent a cute weekend together.
Dylan (20) and Sumayah (19) were the youngest contestants in this season of the popular baking competition. The pair bonded throughout their time on the show and have remained friends after filming, even if Dylan won Star Baker in the episode where Sumayah was eliminated. Dylan remains in the competition, making it to next week’s semi-final.
Now the pair have sparked romance rumors after Dylan shared an Instagram video hanging out with Sumayah in Liverpool and Lancaster in the north of England. The video shows the duo picking apples in Sumayah’s backyard and then baking apple turnovers together in the kitchen.
“A wombo combo collab, I visited Sumayah at her uni in Liverpool! We went around Liverpool, then Lancaster the next day,” Dylan wrote in the post’s caption. “We set out with a quest to try some great bakeries and collect bread, we also went to Lancaster castle. Once we got home, we got to baking. These were really good, Sumayah’s apple tree produces some of the best apples I’ve had.”

“It was a great couple days,” he continued before joking, “but I’m acc still here, kept hostage in Sumayah’s cellar, with her abundant collection of 20+ year old jams, they taste alright once you remove the mould.”
Sumayah flirtily retorted: “I’m never forgiving you for the apples, you will live this down.”
Fans jumped into the comments with praise for the two young bakers, with some wondering if the pair were dating.
