George was the latest to leave the tent during Tuesday’s episode of The Great British Bake Off, where it was caramel week.
After failing to impress Prue Leith (34), and Paul Hollywood (36), with his caramel tart and biscuit bars, the father-of-3 was eliminated.
Paul hilariously commented that the chocolate coated biscuit bar he created during the Technical challenge was bottom of the leaderboard.

Lizzie, who had a lackluster dessert sugar dome Showstopper, was also in the mix.
George got off to a rocky start in the Signature challenge where he made a disastrous banana and caramel tart with curdled custard and melted cream.
He then came bottom in the Technical, commenting afterwards: ‘I don’t think that could have gone any worse!’

George said that after his elimination, he felt a bitter sweetness. My showstopper was something I was proud about, but the rest wasn’t so great.
“But my family are so proud, I’m even in a tent and I’ve had a great time!”
Paul explained his decision by saying that he made more errors than Lizzie in the end.

It comes after last week viewers were left disheartened to see Amanda Sent home
Last week’s pastry challenge proved a difficult one for the contestants as they were faced with three trials to keep their place on the Channel 4 series.
Close: Also in the mix to be possibly eliminated was Lizzie who lacked finesse with her dessert sugar dome Showstopper
Amanda, 56, and George, 34, both struggled while creating a pastry terrine pie for the Showstopper challenge.
Both pies took too much time to cook and collapsed after being removed from the oven.
Amanda was ultimately the one to be sent packing. After her elimination, she said, “You’ve got gotta go some time, haven’t you?”
Reaction: Fans of George took to Twitter to express their sadness after he was booted off, with one writing: ‘George has finally gone I’m going to miss him so much he’s been iconic!’
“I didn’t believe that I would make it this far after seeing all the other bakers. But it’s been a great time.
“I came here for a good time. It can be stressful here, but it’s fun stress. Maybe if I didn’t talk so much, I would have gone a little further.
One user took to Twitter to express his disappointment at Amanda’s removal.
Another commented, “First time I got the leaving baker wrong.” We are sorry to see Amanda go.
Many viewers praised contestant Chigs (40), for helping Amanda through the challenge.
One said: “Chugs hugging Amanda, saying “I’m sorry I couldn’t do more.” I love the way they all help one another.
Another wrote, “Chigs was so sweet Amanda.” He’s my favorite.
Chetna Makan, former Great British Bake Off star wrote: “Amanda is still smiling following that bake! That’s the essence of it all, having fun in the tent no matter what happens to the bake! Isn’t ???’ it?
Great British Bake Off continues Tuesdays @ 8pm on Channel 4.
