9. Toby - Warwickshire - eliminated

Currently three years in to his “six month” home DIY renovation project, Toby and his girlfriend Syd now live in Warwickshire with their rescue dog Bex - having been born in Sidmouth. Toby takes a stripped-back, healthy approach to baking, and tends to lean more towards classic recipes and flavours as he believes they are classics for a reason! But it’s bread that is his real passion, baking something different every day. Toby was the ninth baker to leave - and just missed out on the final | Channel 4 Photo: Channel 4

12. Tom - London
