Taking part in Great British Bake Off was 'real privilege' for Lucy Bellamy

SCARTHO'S Great British Bake Off star has spoken of the pressure appearing on the top show after being voted off – but she's not crying over spilt milk!

Lucy Bellamy sadly failed to impress judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood with her simple tomato bread, made from produce out of her garden.

The 38-year-old also came last in the muffin challenge, which she admits she has never made before.

Lucy said: "I was really looking forward to bread week because I love making it – but Mary and Paul didn't love my bakes.

"I went for bread with flavour and I think they were looking for more of a show-stopper.

"For my tomato bread, I used basil, tomatoes and garlic from my garden.

"I had a long chat with Mary about gardening and produce. She said because she lives in the South, she can grow different things."

Lucy got into baking by growing her own fruit and veg. She learned to bake from her paternal grandmother and one of her biggest passions is bread.

Judge Paul described her bread as "just a cob loaf with tomatoes on it".

However, Mary said: "It's exactly what you say it is; a tomato bread.

"It has a really good flavour to it."

Lucy said the most challenging part of the programme was the pressure.

"You make different decisions while being filmed," she explained.

"The pressure is quite a factor and makes you do different things than you would normally do at home."

Lucy also struggled with creating muffins.

She said: "I have never made them before and you can't practise making them before the show.

"It was difficult because I have never cooked bread on the hob before.

"It was the most challenging part."

Paul described her muffins as too small and doughy as they were raw inside.

Lucy added: "When I came last in the muffin round, I was pretty sure it was myself going because I had a good idea how everyone else was doing.

"I'm not upset I'm out of the programme, I went in it for fun.

"It was a real privilege to cook for Paul and Mary because they give you so much feedback – more than you see on screen.

"Paul is fantastic, he's such an expert on bread. He can tell you by just looking at it what you have used and how much longer it needed in the oven."

Lucy still keeps in touch with the Bake Off team.

"I particularly keep in touch with Francis and Howard, but all of us meet up for dinner and talk about baking," she said.

"We all got together last week and had a great time."
