Bake Off in chaos as baker falls ill and is forced to leave the tent – and elimination is cancelled
THE Great British Bake Off judges were forced to cancel week four’s elimination after illness threw the show into chaos.
Baker Tasha left the tent after “overheating” as she competed in last night’s ‘Chocolate Week’ episode.
The 27-year-old – who is the show’s first deaf contestant – was rushed out after complaining: “It’s quite hot, I need some air,”
Tasha was then seen speaking to crew outside, where she confessed to suffering from a migraine the night before.
Producers decided to allow Tasha to go home to recover.
Presenter Alison Hammond told the bakers: “The baker leaving the tent today is… None of you. You’re all staying”
The shocked bakers were thrilled by the twist, before Alison delivered some worrying news.
“However, next week two bakers will leave the tent.”
It was a positive week for Matty who landed the Star Baker prize for his chocolate box showstopper.
The other contestants moaned they “never wanted to see chocolate again” after a difficult task.
Fans of the show slammed Channel 4 for filming Chocolate Week during a heatwave in the summer.
It was delayed being aired on TV because of the England football game playing on Tuesday evening.
The bakers had to take on three chocolate-based challenges in a bid to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
Prue asked bakers to “show off a bit” in the The Signature Challenge after asking them to take on chocolate tortes.
Dan, Saku, Cristy and Tasha were all in trouble after failing to producer anything up to standard.
Two-time star baker Tasha turned dizzy towards the end of the day and was ordered by medics to rest.
