Bake Off eliminee Linda Rayfield has written a heartwarming open letter about her time on the show.

Rayfield was sent home at the end of last night’s episode (20 October) following a disastrous week of bakes, but left a sweet farewell to her fellow contestants.

In her open letter, which was released on Twitter, Rayfield wrote: “Hello everyone, where does one start, Rowan would say. I love him so much!

“It’s always great meeting new people and being part of the GBBO family this year has to be one of the best experiences of my life. I’m in awe at Love [Productions] managing to make the programme under the circumstances and wanted to say a ‘big thank you!’ for looking after me so well.”

She continued: “I’ve felt so valued throughout this experience and have met some lovely people. Everything I’ve read about the show has been amazing and I’m so proud to have been part of GBBO 2020. Thank you Everyone for your lovely comments. I’m really excited to see who wins! Scream!”

Rayfield struggled through what would become her final episode of the show, coming last in the creme patisserie technical, and then leaving judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood disappointed with her show-stopper. A planned “caged tart” cracked and broke shortly before it was presented to the pair.

After being eliminated, Rayfield called her time on Bake Off “one of the highlights of my life” and compared the famous Bake Off tent to Disneyland.

The Great British Bake Off continues on Tuesday nights on Channel 4.
