East Midlands contestant Priya O\u2019Shea is the latest to be eliminated from the Channel 4 Great British Bake off show.<\/p>\n
Marketing consultant Priya has avoided the boot during the last two weeks and on Tuesday 1 October her luck finally ran out.<\/p>\n
Fellow struggler Michael, who could have been sent home in Priya’s place, but got the benefit of Paul and Prue’s doubt.<\/p>\n
She said after the show: “I have learned so much. It’s felt like such a privilege to be in the tent.<\/p>\n
“Just a year ago I was kind of a bit stuck, and I thought I am just going to do the things I enjoy.”<\/p>\n
She added: “I hope my experience inspires other people to pursue their passions.<\/p>\n
“I left a corporate job after a decade and didn’t know where to start, so I simply started with the things that I love to do and I’d say it’s worked out pretty well.”<\/p>\n
Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith were not impressed with the signatures challenge which kicked off Dessert Week, after several contestants failed to master their meringues.<\/p>\n
Priya was criticised for her unappealing “mauve” icing.<\/p>\n
After the show she tweeted: “I’m not crying, you’re crying.”<\/p>\n
Fans weren’t especially sympathetic to Priya’s plight, especially as many believe she should have left the tent last week, or even the week before.<\/p>\n
