The third baker has left the tent.
It’s Tuesday evening, so you know what that means: another episode of The Great British Bake Off!
The Channel 4 baking show continued this week, with the remaining line-up of Great British Bake Off bakers tackling Bread Week under the watchful gaze of bread master and judge Paul Hollywood, as well as accompanying judge Prue Leith.
Presenters Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond were once again back this episode to help the bakers through the trials and tribulations of kneading, proving and baking the perfect loaf.
This week’s theme saw the contestants tackle a classic cottage loaf before heading to Devon (metaphorically) for the technical. And finally, the bakers were really tested with a plaited bread centrepiece challenge.
Yet while there were some stunning results, some crumbled under the pressure and didn’t produce the most enticing of bread-y bakes.
At the end of the episode, Fielding and Hammond revealed who this week’s Star Baker was, and who’d be going home.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Who left the Great British Bake Off 2023 in Week 3?
Abbi, 27, from Cumbria, was the third baker to leave season 14.
“It’s OK, I knew it was coming. And you know what? I am really proud of myself. I never thought I would be able to do this, it has given me such a massive confidence boost and I have met such amazing people. I am going to remember it every day for the rest of my life, honestly! Although I am quite looking forward to getting back to my vegetables.”
Who left the Great British Bake Off 2023 in Week 2?
Keith, 60, from Hampshire, was the second baker to leave season 14.
“It’s alright, I feel fine, there is nothing sad about this moment. I have had the most fantastic time. There were bruises up my arm from the first week as I was pinching myself every half-hour. I don’t know how many hours I will spend the rest of my life banging on about this,” Keith said upon his exit.
Who left the Great British Bake Off 2023 in Week 1?
Unfortunately, it was the end of the road for Amos, as he became the first contestant to leave the Bake Off tent.
At the end of this week’s baking challenges, Alison announced that Dan was the Star Baker, while Noel had the difficult job that no one wants of telling Amos, 43, that he would be the first baker to go home.
“It was obviously the Showstopper that stopped my show. As soon as I heard my name, I came out of my body. It has been amazing being in that group of people walking into the tent on the first day, and that is softening the blow a little bit,” Amos said.
“Tomorrow, you will remember that you got into Bake Off,” Prue said.
Following his Bake Off stint, Amos revealed what he gained from the show, saying: “What I have learned from my experience on Bake Off is that I can always bring anything together under pressure and that I’m now a part of an exclusive club.
“I will definitely keep on baking, and hope to maybe open up my own bakery and feed the world with love and cake – and who knows where it will take me.”
The Great British Bake Off 2023 is on Channel 4 on Tuesdays at 8pm.
