- Retired garment technologist Gary, aged 67, has become the seventh contestant to be eliminated from the latest series of The Great British Bake Off.
- Gary was sent home following the show's 'free from' week, where bakers were tasked with creating gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan creations whilst maintaining top flavours.
- Presenter Noel Fielding named Gabe as the Star Baker of the week, before co-host Alison Hammond confirmed that Gary's journey in the Bake Off tent had come to an end.
