Nadiya's facial expressions are the best thing about The Great British Bake Off
Her quick bread in the signature challenge was criticised for its "tight" texture and lack of flavour, while Berry tactfully suggested that it looked "sort of homely".
Conway also came sixth in the technical challenge after under-proving her baguettes, but it was the showstopper challenge that really caused her problems as she admitted to Hollywood and Berry that she hadn't practised making her Tracey Emin-inspired unmade bed bread sculpture at home.
In the end, some of her bread was raw in the middle,...

Her exit was a sharp turnaround from last week's episode of Bake Off, which saw her picking up the coveted title of Star Baker.
But Marie just couldn't impress with her biscuits, coming bottom in the technical challenge after an oven mishap left her with only four arlettes - half the amount requested by Hollywood.
Her biscotti in the signature challenge were praised for their crunch, but weren't...

But the paper claims that Marie also ran her own bakery, Mrs Campbell's Cupcakes, from...
