Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry

Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry

Things heated up in the 'Great British Bake Off' kitchen on Tuesday night, as Christine was eliminated in the quarter finals of the competition.

She wasn't the only contender to face criticism however, with judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry holding back no punches when it came to crunch time.

In the strangest showstopper task of the series - but perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing - the five remaining contestants, all of which are women, had to come up with a vegetable-based 3D decorative cake, made without any dairy.

A toadstool and allotment gained praise, whereas a mice and cheese and a vegetable patch were 'bland' and without flavour, despite looking quite brilliant.

However, it was Christine's guitar - presented on a plate bordered with flashing lights - that saw the oldest remaining contestant booted out before next week's semi finals.

Ruby left another massive smile on the faces of Hollywood and Berry, taking home her second win and title of 'star baker'.

She will join Frances, Beca and Kimberley next week in what look to be some of the most difficult challenges to date. We can't wait to see who'll rise to the top.

'Great British Bake Off' continues Tuesday October 15 on BBC Two at 8pm.
