'Great British Bake Off' host Noel Fielding branded this week's technical challenge a total "car crash".
On Tuesday (07.11.23) night's Desserts Week episode of the Channel 4 baking show, the bakers were tasked with creating six individual orange and ginger treacle puddings, but the results were disastrous.
While the contestants were working on their bakes, Paul Hollywood told fellow judge Prue Leith: "It's critical that they get the bake right. It's 40 minutes minimum."
Unfortunately, a most of them only put the puddings in for 20 to 25 minutes, and they were only partially cooked.
Noel called the task a "car crash", while Paul looked at one attempt and walked away from the table, describing them as "disgusting".
He teased: "You've let Prue down, you've let me down, you've let yourselves down. Consider yourselves roasted."
Noel's co-host Alison Hammond jokingly reassured the bakers by pointing out that they were at least "all roughly on the same level", but Matty quipped: "That's not a compliment."
In the end, it was Saku who got eliminated from the competition this week as Dan was named Star Baker.
She said: "I'm so proud of myself. I don't miss baking, but I will miss them [the fellow bakers].
"It's really sad to leave them. It's a privilege to be a part of this lovely family."
In a farewell note to fans, she has since described the whole experience as a "rollercoaster ride".
She wrote: "Since I submitted my bake-off application just few hours before the deadline until the day I left the big white tent in week 7, I had the most wonderful experience (and terrifying too) in my life."
And she opened up about the bond shared between the bakers and Tasha's British Sign Language interpreter Daryl, who has been a constant in the tent.
She added: "[I have] gained lifelong friendships with 11 amazingly talented bakers and one very special interpreter."
