Who left in Week 4? Nobody. This was because Terry wasn't in the tent this week, so the judges thought it wouldn't be fair to send anybody home. Alas, this does mean that TWO bakers are likely to get the boot next week.

Prue complained that her seaside selfie biscuits were "bland", "thick" and "dry", and in the end Sandi Toksvig announced that she would be heading home. Fellow bakers in the mix to leave including Terry and Ruby just managed to do enough to survive – but for Imelda, the journey is over after just three challenges.
