Great British Bake Off's first ever German week proved to be a disaster for Freya as she became the latest person to be eliminated from the tent on Tuesday.
And viewers at home were far from happy at the decision made by judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith, as they felt that George should've left after serving up raw dough during the showstopper challenge, with one fuming: 'This is insane!'
Meanwhile, in a shock for viewers and contestants, Italian baker Giuseppe was crowned star baker amid German Week, beating off stiff competition from German Jurgen - who was heavily tipped to come out on top.
Farewell: Great British Bake Off's first ever German week proved to be a disaster for Freya as she became the latest person to be eliminated from the tent on Tuesday
After Matt Lucas announced Freya's fate, the 19-year-old, who is the show's first ever vegan baker, burst into tears and was comforted by her fellow contestants.
This week, the remaining bakers were tasked with impressing the judges with their tasty German bakes, with the first round signature challenge seeing them asked to make 24 German biscuits.
While the technical challenge proved a difficult one for all as they had to whip up an eight-layered Prince Regent chocolate cake (prinzregententorte).
Uh oh: Viewers at home were far from happy at the decision made by judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith, as they felt that George should've left after serving up raw dough during the showstopper challenge
But it was the final signature challenge in which they had to make yeast leavened cake that saw Freya come unstuck with Paul and Prue calling her wine-soaked fruity cake 'doughy' and 'under-baked', with too much dough compared to topping.

'I really like George but it should have been him, not Freya. Not in a million dreams I would have let her go over George this week' tweeted a fourth person.
'I like George but he should have gone home over Freya tonight - they said his bake was raw for crying out loud!' exclaimed a fifth watcher.
With another agreeing: 'how tf
