Read our privacy policy A Great British Bake Off contestant, who dramatically quit the newest series after just two episodes has penned a letter thanking the show for an “amazing and challenging experience”. Tuesday’s episode was filled with drama as two other contestants collapsed during the final showstopper challenge of ‘biscuit week.’ This was after Jeff, a former university lecturer, who was suffering from illness during episode one’s ‘cake week,’ decided “I’ve had enough” in the latest episode. One viewer wrote: “Hope he’s well, he will be missed.” Another said: “Sad he couldn’t continue - we hardly knew him!” A third proposed: “Maybe he could come back next year? Plan auto-renews until cancelled Try for free A concerned Prue Leith asked Illiyin: “Are you all right?” As she was guided away by medics, Illyin joked: “Handshakes the first episode, fainting the second.” The final drama came when Dylan fell off his chair - to which Essex car mechanic, Andy, exclaimed, “They’re dropping like flies!” There were worries that Dylan had also fainted but he quickly confirmed that he had fallen off his chair while trying to reach for his water bottle.
