) returns this week and promises to be more dramatic than ever. In anticipation of the season 15 premiere, an anonymous inside source told The Mirror that one baker was forced to leave the Tent before the first episode finished filming. The baker, who took part in the opening challenge, later dropped out of the competition due to illness.
Host Alison Hammond said the baker would be missing from the rest of the episode, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be out for good. The baker will return next week in episode two. Related "The Great British Bake-Off" adds an attention-grabbing ingredient in the mix this season “The baker was gutted to miss out on second day but they weren't feeling up to it and so they had to sit it out,” a spokesperson for the show said.
