Rosie Brandreth-Poynter has praised the "incredible" ‘Great British Bake Off’ production team for working around her nut allergy "so well".
The 28-year-old veterinary surgeon was eliminated from the Channel 4 show last night (22.10.19), but was delighted with her time on the programme and was "amazed" at how great the crew were.
She said: "I have a nut allergy so I was so amazed that the production team took that on board, had me in the tent and had to adapt certain practices for filming, everyone worked around it so well, the back room production team were incredible and flexible."
Rosie has enjoyed watching the show back on TV because she has noticed a lot more about her time on ‘Bake Off’ than when she was focusing on her bakes in the tent.
She said: "I had some chats with Noel about various veterinary practices – I didn’t think they were funny at the time, it’s what I do for a living.
"They did seem to cover every animal and practice. When I said one of my bakes was eggy rubber, he said that would be a great name for a band.
"I always thought I would get on well with Sandi, but I thought that I wouldn’t have anything in common with Noel, but we really hit it off, and I think he enjoyed our bizarre conversations.
"One of the funnier moments was Noel’s reaction to some of my answers because at the time I was busy concentrating on my baking and didn’t see his face, so that made me laugh when I watched it during transmission as I had missed a lot in the tent as I was focused on what I was doing."
Rosie insists she will continue to bake but is happy in her full-time job as a vet.
She added: "I have no idea what will happen for me next, in the meantime I am a full-time vet and I love my job, caring for animals, which is very rewarding.
"And I will continue baking and hopefully make more time for it in the future, who knows what will happen?"
