Dorret Conway has become the third contestant to leave the Great British Bake Off after failing to impress the judges with her bread sculpture based on Tracey Emin’s famous unmade bed.
“Well, we’ve already lost two, you don’t hang around do you, Mary?” Evans said, to which Berry replied: “Wait a minute, we’ve lost three. We lost Marie last week, Dorret and on the first week it was our lovely chap with his little hat on.”
The judges said Dorret’s “My Bed” raisin and fennel dough sculpture “looked untidy” and “was not worth five hours’ work”. The dough in the middle of her marzipan and apricot mattress was also raw.
