Who left Bake Off: The Professionals this week? All the answers are here if you didn’t get a chance to tune in on Tuesday night.
Bake Off: The Professionals is back for 2021 and fans can see how teams of professional pastry chefs get on when they compete in a baking competition where they are expected to turn ordinary patisserie and the most delicious desserts into masterpieces.
If you’re a fan of the amateur Great British Bake Off and the Celebrity Great British Bake Off, you won’t be able to resist the quality of the Professionals Bake Off – where even the experienced pastry chefs find avoiding a ‘soggy bottom’ a bit of a challenge.
And if you missed last night’s show aired on Channel 4, here’s who left Bake Off: The Professionals this week…

But the duo took leaving the contest completely in their stride as they reflected, they were “not surprised because we had two stupid days.”
The GBBO tweeted, ‘Things didn’t go to plan for Sarah and Cristina, our first pastry chefs to leave Heat Two. But they kept fighting and will bounce back stronger than ever. #GBBO’
But the remaining contestants from Heat two saw joint winners for week one with Lerrick and Lineker and Nessie and Domino impressing so much that even the judges couldn’t decide who to pick resulting in them both coming out top with their bakes.
Nessie and Domino wowed with their ‘Chocolate Stairway To Heaven’ Fruit Crumble Showpiece. A wonderful sight to behold,’ tweeted Bake Off.
