With another adding: ‘Initially you feel a tug and then melts in your mouth” – That’s the #Extra Slice jokes sorted!’

Meanwhile, the bread expert left viewers irate as he told how he didn’t like gherkins, forcing two bakers to adapt their bakes just for him. 

The episode also saw Mark Lutton has become the latest person to be eliminated from the show after failing tom impress with his Japanese inspired bakes.

Despite starting off the week with confidence, Mark struggled to wow the judges with his burger-style steamed buns, while he landed in 5th place in the technical challenge.

The showstopper challenge, in which bakers were tasked with making a kawaii ‘cute’ creation, proved to be the final straw for the Northern Irish baker, 27, with his Avocado themed creation branded ‘inedible’ by judge Paul Hollywood.

Speaking after his exit, Mark became emotional as he said: ‘When you know, you know. I thought it was my time tonight.

He continued: ‘It’s happy tears because I made it to week six of Bake Off. It’s been brilliant from start to finish.’

He added that he had learned ‘so much’ and made great friends along the way and was glad to have been pushed to bake things he’d never done before, adding he ‘couldn’t have asked for a better experience’.

Reflecting on his exit, Prue said: ‘Poor Mark, he had a disaster of a showstopper’, adding it only takes ‘one bad bake’ for a contestant to be out.
