THE Great British Bake Off’s Tom has said his choice of showstopper was “a wrong one” as he became the fourth baker to be booted from the competition.

The 29-year-old architect from Edinburgh failed to impress in the first caramel week the series has ever had, with his showstopper – a hummingbird cake with caramel decorations – sealing the deal for his exit.

Tom’s unravelling began with the first of three challenges, the signature bake, when he failed to complete the millionaire’s shortbread.

Instead of offering judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood 18 identical bakes, he ran out of time and instead presented them with two large tins of his caramel concoction.

In the technical challenge, which saw the bakers create 12 Dutch stroopwafels, he came in fifth place out of nine.

Tom’s showstopper caramel cake, a banana and pineapple hummingbird cake, got poor reviews from Leith and Hollywood.

Hollywood described it as “a bit basic” thanks to Tom’s lack of caramel decorations – he topped his cake with just two while the other contestants were more generous and adventurous. 

Leith said the cake itself was “gluey and under-baked”.

BREAKING Bad star Aaron Paul has announced he and his wife are expecting their first child together.

The US actor, who played Jesse Pinkman in the hit drama series, shared the news on Instagram along with a picture of his wife Lauren Paul cradling a baby bump.

He wrote: “Hey everyone. Look what I did. Words can’t express how excited I am that this little one has entered our lives."
