Rochica was the third baker to be eliminated from The Great British Bake Off during Tuesday's episode of the popular cooking show.

The contestant, 27, broke down in tears during the programme after failing to impress with her bird-inspired milk bread Showstopper and ciabatta breadsticks in the Technical.

She follows unlucky bakers Tom and Jairzinho who were booted off in week one and two.

Upset: Rochica was the third baker to be eliminated from The Great British Bake Off during Tuesday's episode of the popular cooking show.

Elsewhere Giuseppe impressed judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood and was crowned Star Baker.  

Speaking after it was announced she was leaving an emotional Rochica said: 'It's come to an end but I have really really enjoyed it.

'Not everybody gets to bake in the Bake Off tent and I'm proud of where I've got to.'

She also cried at the end of the three challenges and said: 'It's definitely been my worst week. I would like another chance but I don't think I'm going to get one.'

She disappointed with her milk bread Showstopper which consisted of a bird cage, nest and eggs, while also coming last in the technical where the contestants had to make ciabatta breadsticks. 

Meanwhile Giuseppe wowed the judges with his culinary efforts, producing an incredible vegetable patch themed milk bread and coming first in the Technical.

Speaking after being awarded the accolade he looked thrilled as he said: 'I'm star baker can you believe it! I better savour it as it wont happen again!'

Elsewhere Maggie was close to being eliminated after a disappointing octopus themed Showstopper. 

After the elimination she said: 'I was very close to the edge, I seem to have scrapped through again. Next week I've got to be spectacular!'

Elsewhere the Signature Challenge tasked the bakers to make a focaccia, with George and Amanda impressing with their textures and flavours. 

Next week the bakers will take on dessert week as the competition heats up in the tent.  

It comes after last week viewers were left fuming when the episode of the cookery show was plagued by sound issues and a technical glitch.

Fans took to Twitter in their droves to complain that they could 'barely hear' presenters Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas and that they sounded 'muffled' as they spoke with contestants and gave their voiceovers.

Elsewhere on the episode, Jairzinho became the second baker to be eliminated on biscuit week after a lacklustre Showstopper, while Jürgen was crowned star baker yet again. 

Channel 4 had faced issues with its output over the three days beforehand, following a fire at its playout centre which impacted Tuesday's GBBO for many fans. 

One wrote: 'What's going on with the sound on #BakeOff? I can't hear the voice over. It's too muffled to hear anything Noel and Matt are saying.'
