Great British Bake Off viewers were left disappointed after fan favourite Chuen-Yan ‘Yan’ became the seventh baker to leave the show.
The scientist from north London left the competition after struggling during the Bake Off’s first ever Italian week.
Yan struggled while making classic Sicilian cannoli in the signature challenge, her pastry offerings pretty much falling apart in judge Prue Leith’s hands.

Twitter users were sad to see the 46-year-old depart with some believing Stacey deserved to leave.
Marie Anthony wrote: “Yan deserved to stay another week Stacey’s was the worse by a mile and Kate also.”
WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THIS SHOW. NOT YAN. OMG #GBBO

Shane Brennan joked fans should not worry about Yan as “she’s already glad to be back at her day job, pioneering Nasa’s baking division.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
