SHERBORNE baker Carole Edwards has left the show.
The 59-year-old was selected to leave the Channel 4 bakery programme after struggling with challenges involving steamed puddings, served with an accompaniment of their choice, and baking a lemon meringue pie.
She ended up with eight collapsed puddings and failed to impress with her pie, leading to judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood selecting her to leave.
After her disastrous effort with the puddings, the Dorset baker said: “I know you said no more disasters but I think I’ve done this one in style.”
Meanwhile, in the technical challenge, Carole’s efforts did not impress the judges.
And her showstopper, a Strawberry Fields-inspired effort could not save her from the chop.
After the decision was revealed, Carole said she was delighted to have gone as far as she did in the competition.
“I’m very proud of myself,” she said.
“I came here to achieve something as I get older.”
