Bake Off fans in uproar as Lottie Bedlow breaks down in tears after exit 'Won’t watch it'

Lottie, 31, was one of the hot favourites to win this year’s series of The Great British Bake Off when it began back in September. The contestant proved herself to be a strong contender for the crown during the first six weeks, however, an unfortunate ice-cream showstopper led to her shock exit from the tent. Clearly overcome with emotion, the amateur baker was seen in floods of tears as she spoke to the camera for the final time on the Channel 4 show.

The contestant said it was “a massive relief” to have left the tent, but she was “gutted” she wasn’t going to be with her fellow co-stars every day.

Lottie then explained she thought she would never have made it to week seven as she wiped away tears with a tissue.

“I literally packed two outfits and I’m here wearing everyone else’s clothes,” she remarked light-heartedly.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote of the result: “I am absolutely devastated! Lottie was such a wonderful person to watch. I’ll be so gutted to not see her next week #GBBO.”

Another added: “Husband just said he won’t watch it now. Shame. I like Lottie. #GBBO,” whilst a third wrote: “So gutted to see Lottie leave #GBBO tonight, could this year get any worse?”
