The episode saw 50-year-old Chris crash and burn during all three rounds, but his first attempt at baking - chocolate and chia seed biscuits with whisky caramel - instantly dissatisfied
judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith. Chris was optimistic about his creation at first, but Prue eventually admitted she thought they were “too much” to his disappointed. Chris’ second
effort at claggy cookies fared even worse, as he struggled under the pressure and ended up with chronically underdone treats, and the 77-year-old judge gravely claimed she could “predict the
future” before even trying one of his fortune cookies. “I don’t think they ever got to the oven, did they? Raw batter is not much fun,” Prue sniped after some scrutiny. The baker’s last
attempt to win over the judges didn’t succeed either, as he fumbled to build a nautical-themed biscuit board game called The Great British Sail Off that was made of rum and ginger biscuit
pieces on an orange and cardamom base. “It’s a bit rough and ready... but it’s colourful, which is a good thing,” Paul said carefully, while Prue wasn’t interested in letting him down
gently, as she commented: “You do want your own teeth... both the biscuits are burnt.” Bristol-born Chris has been vocal about how much he valued the opportunity to take part on the Channel
4 show, having recovered from a tough bout of cancer in his twenties. The 50-year-old survivor explained that he wanted to inspire others suffering from the disease to be positive and even
apply, as he said: “I hope from being on the show it raises awareness that cancer can be beaten and inspires anyone who is having treatment - that will be enough for me. I hope patients will
follow their goals in life, like I am trying to do.” IT'S BACK! THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF RETURNS Speaking about being the second contestant to leave the infamous tent, he revealed
that his inspiration to other cancer-patients has made it all worth it. “It has been lovely to receive so many messages from cancer patients. I have received congratulations from people that
have either been through treatment, or currently having treatment. The letters are so moving that when we read them my wife and I are sobbing away like a couple of babies. “Something like
that makes a whole sense of the competition, big time,” he added. Meanwhile, master in the kitchen Steven Carter-Bailey, 34, was crowned star baker for the second time running, mainly due to
his show-stopper chocolate and gingerbread chess set Check Bake, which was described as “exquisite” by Paul. _GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF CONTINUES TUESDAY AT 8PM ON CHANNEL 4__._
