Who Left Bake Off This Week? One Baker Eliminated and One Forced to Leave

Molly was eliminated and Nikki withdrew after her mother’s condition worsened, while hairdresser Tom was named star baker after three challenges.

  • On Tuesday, October 13, The Great British Bake Off saw two departures during Bread Week, as accessibility co-ordinator Molly was eliminated and advertising post-producer Nikki left for personal reasons.
  • Nikki stepped away mid-episode after her mother "took a turn for the worse," while Molly failed to convince judges Paul Hollywood and Nigella Lawson with her signature bake.
  • Paul Hollywood described the filled flatbread technical as "probably the worst technical I think I've ever seen in 17 years," while Molly reflected, "I'm sad to be leaving the tent but it think it's my time and it's the right decision."
  • Hairdresser Tom was named Star Baker after impressing judges with his Christmas-themed showstopper, and the episode concluded with a photo tribute to Nikki's mother, Joyce.
  • The Great British Bake Off continues next Tuesday, October 21 on Channel 4, with Series 17 currently available to stream on the Channel 4 app.
