Jessika Eliminated From Bake Off in Back to School Week as Jasmine Named Star Baker

Prue Leith said her high‑risk approach overreached this week.

Overview

  • Nine bakers tackled flapjacks, a school‑cake Technical with a catch, and a school‑fete showstopper of nostalgic treats.
  • Judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood decided Jessika would leave after assessing the three challenges.
  • Leith praised Jessika’s creativity throughout the series but said the risks went too far in Week 4.
  • Student Jasmine was awarded Star Baker, with multiple reports noting it was her second consecutive week.
  • Viewers on X decried the decision as a ‘robbery,’ and Jessika is slated to appear on Extra Slice on Friday, September 26 at 8pm on Channel 4.
