Seventh Contestant Leaves The Great British Bake Off

Gary was sent home after judges weighed gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan challenges in the tent.

  • On Tuesday, 67-year-old retired garment technologist Gary became the seventh contestant eliminated from The Great British Bake Off during Free From Week, where bakers faced challenges creating gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan treats.
  • Gary admitted that "free from" had been his least favourite challenge because it was not something he had practised at home, ultimately leading to his inability to impress the judges with his bakes.
  • Judge Paul Hollywood joked about Gary's fashion choices, saying, "I will miss my doppelganger," and added, "You can't carry on wearing the same colour shirts as me every week."
  • Presenter Noel Fielding announced Gabe as Star Baker for the week, while Gary reflected on his exit, saying, "I felt it before they told me, as I had the down feeling."
  • The six remaining contestants advance to next week's quarter-final, where they must continue impressing judges with new culinary challenges following Gary's elimination from the tent.
