Great British Bake Off: Celebrations as Leeds contestant Kim-Joy makes finals

Leeds-based contestant Kim-Joy has made the final three in this year's Great British Bake Off

Leeds contestant Kim-Joy has made it to the final of the Great British Bake Off along with Rahul and Ruby after Briony was voted off.

Briony was sent home from the Bake Off tent after "probably" mixing up salt and sugar in an emotional semi-final.

The 33-year-old revealed she broke the news of what went wrong on a WhatsApp group for the show's bakers.

The one-time star baker was undone by patisserie week and became tearful after her failed showstopper but said she was proud to have made it to week nine.

Kim-Joy, Rahul and Ruby will take part in an evenly matched final, with each of the contestants having two star baker awards to their name.

Briony said: "The bakers were asking on WhatsApp what had happened and I messaged them saying that I was leaving but as one happy semi-finalist.

"I had a little cry after the showstopper but it was more of a release of emotion. I really did leave with a big smile on my face."

Briony was dependant on a good bake for the showstopper but her efforts were deemed "raw" and "very salty".

Judges and contestant were agreed she had probably mixed up salt and sugar in her final challenge.

The glazing in her technical challenge, a Seven Veils Cake, was described by Paul Hollywood as "like incontinence pants", although it was Rahul who came bottom of the group.

Prue Leith said the self-effacing baker had "gone backwards" in patisserie week after being one of the standout contestants in previous challenges.

It was Ruby who was crowned star baker for the second time.
