Fans shocked by latest GBBO departure

Great British Bake Off: Heartbreaks, Handshakes & Forgotten Bakes
Great British Bake Off: Heartbreaks, Handshakes & Forgotten Bakes

Last night on GBBO, our remaining bakers were challenged with a week of 'Forgotten Bakes'. The episode kept viewers on the edge of their seats with handshakes, heartbreaks and baking havoc.

Who was star baker?
Mum of three Stacey Hart brought home star baker this week. Despite a "leaky clanger issue"and a broken oven, Sophie won the judges over with her homemade macaroons, madeleines and meringues. Her showstopper even earned her a Hollywood Handshake.

Ineedmorecharacters: "Stacy breaking the oven and just trying to hold it in place has made my whole series #GBBO2017"

Liam GBBO
Liam was sent home this week

Who went home?
Nineteen-year-old Liam Charles was sent home this week thanks to his raw Rum Nicky technical challenge and dissolving spun sugar on his showstopper.

British Bake Off: "The trick is to keep smiling. Thanks for the bakes, the fun and those amazing facial expressions, Liam! #GBBO"

Audience reaction
It is safe to say that viewers were left pretty heartbroken as Liam was sent home from GBBO 2017.

cinnabexbts: "When Stacey is star baker and Liam leaves #GBBO #GBBO2017"

Stacey Kenworth: "Liam going home's got the entirety of Britain like...#GBBO #GBBO2017"

Joel Gleicher: "After eliminating Liam, everyone has remembered how much they hate Paul Hollywood, the snake. #GBBO #GBBO2017"

Abbie: "#GBBO2017 when I heard the word Liam instead of Kate #JusticeForLiam"

GBBO Kate
Fans were surprised that Liam was sent home over Kate

Many fans questioned why Kate has remained in the running despite multiple mishaps. On last night's episode she served up a clanger that had dropped to the floor and fans were unimpressed.

Luce: "Good bakers are having one bad day and going home and Kate and Stacey are managing to stay despite having multiple bad weeks!? #GBBO"

Geogre Alborn: "PAUL HOLLYWOOD LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME KATE IS A BETTER BAKER THAN LIAM #GBBO"

 Elle: "STACEY AND KATE ARE STILL IN AND LIAM ISN’T #GBBO"

Dan Klinker: "Our reaction to Liam leaving bake off and not Kate #GBBO"

Fatima Alonso: #GBBO Stacey wins star baker, Kate self admits she has no idea what she's doing and Liam goes home."

Until next week, GBBO fans.
