Great British Bake Off star Maisam has shared her pride in representing her Libyan heritage on the Channel 4 show following her elimination in week two.

The 18-year-old student became the second contestant to leave the competition in biscuit week after failing to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith with her Venetian mask showstopper or her carrot-shaped signature biscuits.

In a letter shared on Twitter, Libyan-born Maisam, from Greater Manchester, expressed her delight in going on the show.

‘Bake Off is simply life-changing, and one of the best decisions I have made in my life,’ she penned.

‘It has taught me to become a risk taker, and representing my Libyan heritage in the tent is something I am really proud of.’

She continued: ‘To go from baking in my own kitchen and into the tent just shows that you shouldn’t underestimate your passions because they can take you places that you’d never imagine.

‘I can now say that I am part of a very exclusive Bake Off family and have gained 11 new amazing friends that I will keep for life.’

Maisam concluded her letter by teasing that her baking journey is only just beginning.

‘I am excited to see what comes next,’ she added.

The second Bake Off episode of the series saw the 11 contestants tasked with baking signature macarons, Garibaldi biscuits and 3D masquerade ball-inspired showstoppers.

Swedish-born architectural assistant Maxy, 29, won star baker after receiving a coveted Hollywood handshake for her impressive signature performance.

She enthused: ‘I didn’t think I’d even get on to the show let alone get a handshake and become star baker so I’m really happy. It’s definitely giving me a confidence boost.’

Next time, the bakers will face bread week.

Great British Bake Off airs Tuesdays at 8pm on Channel 4.
