Great British Bake Off star Mike Wilkins is the latest contestant to face elimination from the tent after a chaotic episode saw Noel Fielding almost ruin a show stopper

In a chaotic episode, Mike was the last baker to be eliminated from the competition.

After a tough time during Caramel Week, the farmer fell at the final hurdle after his caramel cake was deemed closer to a tiramisu by the judges.

Inspired by his boyfriend’s favorite movie and the baking star’s favorite cocktail, Mike created a salted coffee caramel-inspired creation that featured multiple layers of coffee-flavored cake smeared with caramel mousse.

The stunning creation was topped with shards of caramel popcorn, but unfortunately Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith felt the whole mix got it wrong.

Speaking to the camera after hearing the news of their eviction, the bakers said it was time to leave.

Mike’s exit from the show came at the end of a chaotic day in the Bake Off tent, when presenter Noel Fielding accidentally broke one of the bakers’ key ingredients with just fifteen minutes to go.

During the episode, presenter 52 was playing in the tent while the contestants worked on the Signature challenge.

He played around by making a ball out of Nelly’s leftover cookie dough and using her rolling pin, but panic set in when he tried to hit the ball and knocked over the glass bowl of caramel, causing it to shatter on the floor.

Are these leftovers? Noel asked Nelly, before rolling the dough into a ball and exclaiming: ‘We can throw this at someone.’

Another competitor held out his cap and challenged Noel to hit the ball, which he managed to do once.

However, on his second attempt, he sent the glass bowl of caramel flying, leaving baker Nelly gasping for air.

— Didn’t you need that? the presenter asked, placing his hand over his mouth in shock.

‘Yes I did,’ replied the baker, as Noel added: ‘Oh my God’ and other contestants put their hands on their heads.

Fortunately, Nelly confirmed that they had time and quickly got to work preparing a new batch while Noel vacuumed up the broken glass.

“It’s okay,” she joked, “If I go home, he’ll take me home in a fancy car.”
