Great British Bake Off fans are left teary-eyed as fan-favourite Saku is eliminated after a cut-throat dessert week in which ALL bakers failed the technical challenge

Great British Bake Off followers had been left teary-eyed after Tuesday’s episode as fan-favourite Saku was eradicated from the present. 

The 50-year-old intelligence analyst from Hertfordshire was the newest to wave her goodbyes to the enduring tent after a troublesome dessert week that noticed all bakers fail the technical problem in a sequence first. 

The bakers had been set the problem of creating creme caramels within the signature earlier than coming face-to-face with creating six orange and ginger treacle puddings within the technical. 

Uncooked bakes ensued, with Paul taking one take a look at the bench and storming away, declaring: ‘That’s disgusting’. 

Alison Hammond tried to elevate the temper by arguing: ‘At the very least you are all roughly on the identical degree…’ 

Icon: Saku was beloved for her entertaining expressions and feedback within the Bake Off tent

However it was Saku who was eradicated after her bee hive chocolate bombe showstopper didn’t impress judges Paul and Prue, whereas Dan claimed star baker. 

Waving goodbye to the tent, she mentioned: ‘I am so happy with myself. I do not miss baking, however I’ll miss them [the other bakers].

‘It is actually unhappy to depart them. It is a privilege to be part of this beautiful household’. 

‘We will miss you!’ declared co-host Alison, stepping into for a hug 

In her exit letter, Saku added: ‘What a rollercoaster journey it was! 

‘Since I submitted my Bake Off software only a few hours earlier than the deadline till the day I left the massive white tent in week 7, I had probably the most fantastic experiment (and terrifying too) in my life.’ 

Worst problem ever? All of the bakers failed the technical problem in a sequence first

Showstopper: She didn’t impress the judges regardless of her bee hive chocolate bombe showstopper

Followers had been left gutted after Saku’s departure, with one saying they had been in ‘mourning’. 

One mentioned: ‘heartbreak of the season, gone however by no means forgotten, our valuable queen, perpetually in our hearts, saku we love u.’

One other added: ‘If saku goes house, I’ll really cry actual tears. She is an ICON.’

A 3rd mentioned: ‘I knew this present day would come however I wasn’t able to see Saku go.’

A fourth added: ‘I will not be contactable for the subsequent month. I will be mourning the lack of our Bake Off 2023 Queen.’ 

Unhappy: Followers on Twitter mentioned they had been ‘mourning’ and that the season would not be the identical
