The Great British Bake Off eliminates sixth baker as they hit back at brutal Paul Hollywood dig
THE GREAT British Bake Off star Dawn left the famous tent after failing to impress the judges.
Presenters Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas returned to lead the latest batch of bakers through brand new challenges set by Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
It was Halloween Week and the remaining bakers tackled three terrifying challenges.
There was a seasonal signature in the form of an apple cake, a ‘s’more-ish” technical and finally in the showstopper they created a Halloween pinata perfect for any spooky celebration.
It was announced that Syabira was the Star Baker this week, as Matt revealed that Dawn, 61, would be leaving the tent.
After Dawn’s exit, she revealed that she “nearly fell off over” when Paul Hollywood compared her to his mum Gill.

Dawn had a cheeky response for Paul, she said: “There were loads of funny moments in the tent, and my best one personally was when Paul Hollywood said I reminded him of his mum.
“I almost fell over, cheeky devil! I managed quite a swift
reply to that (No disrespect to Mrs H).
“The judges and presenters were all really kind and the
feedback is only honest, polite and constructive.”
The Bedfordshire-based IT manager said she was proud of her time on the Channel 4 show.

“I was one of the oldest in the tent – so I had to use all my stamina to keep going to the sixth episode, I would suggest a workout at the gym before you go into the tent for the first time,” she said.
“But then that also means you have a wealth of experience and tend to keep calm when everyone else might be losing their baking head.
“At the end of the day you are baking cakes, that’s all – so you
have to strike a balance and a bit of life experience does help.
She added: “I feel that I will take away from Bake Off more confidence in my baking! I’m still thanking my lucky stars that I got to do it.

“Wow, just wow! I’m fired up and ready to go on a whole new adventure, I’ve come away with the knowledge that I make some pretty decent cakes and bakes.
“I might even be able to make something of this baking lark! Oh and finally, I have total respect for the judges, watching them eat so many mouthfuls of cake/bread/biscuit and being so professional about it on a freezing cold or boiling hot day – bravo!”
