Last week’s Halloween challenge proved too much for Dawn, with the IT manager from Bedfordshire being sent home after coming 5th in the technical challenge, before her showstopper lantern split in two as she presented it.
The episode saw both Syabira and Maxy receive coveted Hollywood handshakes, while Syabira landed the crown of star baker for the week.
The competition is now at the half way point, with Kevin from Lanarkshire the only Scot still in the running.
Here’s everything you need to know about all six bakers left and their odds on winning, from the hot favourite to the longshot.

6. Kevin
Bad news for Scots - Kevin is the outsider when it comes to this year's Bake Off with odds of 25/1, or a tiny 3.8 per cent chance of winning. Surrounded by family and much-loved animals, Kevin is devoted to his nearest and dearest and spends as much time as possible with his wife, Rachel, and his siblings and their partners, laughing, eating and playing board games. A talented musician, who not only teaches but also performs, Kevin is principally a saxophonist, but is accomplished at the flute, the piano and the clarinet too. He began baking when he was 17. His ethos in the kitchen is to use the best, seasonal ingredients and to spend time refining his technique – with these in hand, he believes the presentation will take care of itself. He loves interesting combinations of fruits, herbs, nuts and spices. Photo: Contributed
