Molly was eliminated during Bread Week while Nikki left for personal reasons.

Two contestants left The Great British Bake Off during Bread Week on Channel 4. The week's challenges included making filled flatbreads in the technical round, creating the 'ultimate' garlic bread in the signature challenge, and producing an 'exquisite display of enriched bread' with a large centrepiece and celebratory theme for the showstopper.

Molly, a 31-year-old accessibility co-ordinator from London, was eliminated after the judges' deliberations. She said: 'I am sad to be leaving the tent, but I think it's my time and it's the right decision.' She added that she had wanted to complete biscuit week and bread week, and was proud to have baked with her husband in the tent. She reflected that the show had changed her approach to baking, saying: 'I've definitely learned how to bake and not put so much pressure on myself.'

Nikki withdrew from the competition for personal reasons after her mother 'took a turn for the worse', meaning she was unable to continue.
