Speaking to host and comedian Jo Brand, Amos revealed that he found judge ‘Prue Leith more scary than Paul Hollywood’.
He said: ‘The first night in the hotel we (the bakers) had drinks and cake and we all got on.
‘When we got in the tent it was very scary being in front of Paul and Prue. I forgot I was being judge at one point. After the first bake it got less scary.
‘But Prue was more scary than Paul.’
Discussing his technical challenge chocolate cake, which he place in second for, Amos added: ‘I think it went well I was so zen. I felt like I was cooking in my own kitchen I was so chilled out.’
It comes after Amos became emotional after he was told he didn’t make it through to next week after struggling through the showstopper challenge.
The contestants were tasked with making an ‘animal cake’ with many of them choosing to whip up a confection in the image of their pets.
Amos made a whale-shaped cake for the task but failed to impress judges Paul and Prue who told him it was ‘bone dry’ and overbaked.
After his elimination was announced, Amos said: ‘It was the showstopper that stopped my show. As soon as I heard my name I came out of my body.’
He then broke down in tears and walked away from the camera for a moment before returning and saying: ‘Sorry, I’m fine.’
New host Alison was then seen giving the Londoner a hug and telling him he had been ‘amazing’.
