Great British Bake Off contestant Tasha taken out of tent ill as Alison Hammond rushes to help

Great British Bake Off contestant Tasha fell ill and was taken out of the tent on Wednesday’s episode, as a concerned Alison Hammond rushed to help.

The 27-year-old, who is the programme’s first-ever deaf contestant, appeared pale during the technical bake to produce a chocolate torte without wheat flour.

An ill-looking Tasha told the crew: “It’s quite hot, I need some air.”

She was then rushed outside.

A tearful Tasha was comforted by new host Alison Hammond.

Tasha was filmed having a discussion with the camera crew and revealed she had suffered with a migraine the night before. The decision was made for her to go home.
