After being tasked with creating a summer pudding bomb, the bakers found themselves baffled by the recipe, with two of them presenting crumbled piles of bread, mousse and jelly.

The show’s manager saw the trio tasked with creating an edible sculpture, with Syabira creating a giant orangutan holding up his rainforest home. Her ambitious creation consisted of layers of tarragon shortbread and a Genovese sponge that was flavored with black pepper and smothered with blackberry jam. Paul said of her roast: “The orangutan is smart. I think you could do with a bit more work on the face… It’s not the neatest thing I’ve seen, but it tastes fantastic nonetheless.’ Interesting; Paul said of her roast: “The orangutan is smart.

However, later in the episode, Noel returned later for the showstopper challenges, which were filmed the next day. The star joined Matt and judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith for a debrief on the day before, where they talked him through the less-than-impressive technical nuggets. Contestants: Syabira, Abdul and Sandro battled it out in Tuesday’s grand finale Noel was then ready to present the final round of the competition with Matt, with the bakers tasked with creating an elaborate edible sculpture. Sandro Farmhouse, 30, Syabira Yusoff, 32, and Abdul Rehman Sharif, 29, are all vying to become the Great British Bake Off Champion for 2022. Ouch!
