Following his exit, Andy revealed he wanted to make baking his career and said he would be "grateful of any opportunity". He added: "I'd like to think that I could do something in the baking world and make it my career.

"Probably start baking on social media and introduce the world to my bakes and flavours. Doing demos or even something within the media or tv, I'd be blessed and grateful of any opportunity. Hopefully I can bring some joy to people and encourage everyone, even mechanics, to bake."

He continued: "I was so sad that I was leaving, I knew that it was right and I'd prepared myself for the decision. I had so much more to give and I felt I let myself down by not executing my bakes as well as I have previously.

"I was very emotional doing the showstopper and I couldn't get my mind focused. The tent can emotionally affect you without realising." The Great British Bake Off airs on Channel 4 with Extra Slice airing each Thursday night from 8pm on Channel 4 and ALL 4.
