The Great British Bake Off has aired its fourth elimination for the 2024 series, with Mike Wilkins the latest baker to leave the tent.

Tuesday’s (October 15) episode saw the remaining nine contestants face the challenge of Caramel Week, with the bakers having three rounds – Signature, Technical and Showstopper – to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.

After a hotly contested round, which saw Georgie Grasso awarded the honour of Star Baker, it was time for host Noel Fielding to announce that 29-year-old Mike was the fourth contestant to be eliminated.

“I feel it was my time to go,” he remarked following the reveal. “I’m just this little farmhand who does a bit of baking in the kitchen. Everybody else was so incredible. I feel like the quality of what everyone else is doing is just breathtaking. I’m going to miss everyone.”

“I’m really happy [to have survived elimination]” said a relieved Sumayah, who was also in danger of going home. “But I’m sad at the same time – Mike was genuinely the heart of the group. He’s been a good friend.”

Georgie, who placed first in the Technical on her way to being Star Baker, said of her achievement: “Star Baker is just crazy – I honestly didn’t think I was going to do it. It means a lot – I’ve always been self-conscious about my baking. To get more confidence shows I can do it.”
