The Great British Bake Off finalists were revealed on Tuesday night’s episode as Patisserie Week pushed the contestants to their limits.
The semi-final saw Toby, Aaron, Tom and Jasmine battle it out for a place in the final round as temperatures soared in the famous tent.
Unfortunately Toby was sent packing after failing to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith as much as the others, while Jasmine was named Star Baker.
After his exit a tearful Toby said: ‘I made it a tough decision for them they said so that is good. The best thing about this tent is the other people.’
Prue and Paul said it was the toughest decision they had to make all series so far when they picked Toby to go.
Patisserie week saw the semi-finalists make cream horns, glass domes and showstopping macarons but only three made it through.

Aaron was struggling after one batch went wrong and he had to quickly redo everything for his sloth-themed creation.

Speaking immediately after the news, Iain said: ‘I didn’t think I would make it this far – I never thought I would make it past the first couple of weeks. So to make it to the quarter-finals is something that I couldn’t ever have thought of.
‘We have had the best group of Bakers. We have made really really good friends, and we always have a laugh. It’s just been fantastic.
‘I had accepted when Noel walked into the tent that it was going to be me going home, so I was just waiting for him to say it.
‘I felt like it was my time and I was just grateful to have gotten as far as I did.
‘The other bakers were absolute gems and we were all so close, I wasn’t even really sad when it happened so we all were able to have a laugh about me getting out of doing Patisserie week!
‘We have a wee group chat where everyone writes lovely messages whenever someone leaves.
‘So it was great to see everyone’s kind words!’
His elimination came after it was announced that medical student Jasmine was that week’s Star Baker.
