The Great British Bake Off's Laura Adlington has hit back at trolls after she received backlash when fellow contestant Hermine was sent home earlier this week.
Taking to Twitter to address the criticism some viewers have thrown at her, Laura wrote, "It's ok to be sad your favourite person didn't go through, but please remember it's not my fault.
"I don't make the decisions. GBBO is all about kindness and I haven't seen much of that on here."

Noel's best shirts from The Great British Bake Off - slider
1 of 14Vivienne Westwood fruit print shirt
For the opening episode of the new series, Noel wore this funky fruit printed shirt from Vivienne Westwood. It's a little more than we'd normally spend on a shirt, so we've found a high street alternative...
2 of 14Topman shirt with abstract print
This Topshop shirt has the same abstract vibes as Noel's original, but for a fraction of the price. AND you can get it next-day delivery on ASOS.
3 of 14Raf Simons Oversize Embroidered Smiley Face Merino Wool Sweater
For episode two, Noel wore this Zany smiley face jumper from Raf Simons. Buying this jumper would cost more than our rent so we've found the closest alternative on the high street....
4 of 14Acid Smile Long Sleeve Knit
It's a different colour to the OG, but the vibes are very Noel.
5 of 14Lazy Oaf Shirt The Future Shirt
In episode three, Noel wore this sold-out Lazy Oaf shirt in black with white scribbles. Noel's version isn't available on the lazy oaf site anymore, but we found a version on Ebay for a whopping £88.
6 of 14ASOS DESIGN regular fit shirt with scribble face print in white
If you're scrimping your pennies then maybe this black and white scribble shirt from ASOS for under 30 quid would do this trick.
7 of 14Lazy Oaf High Score Bowling Shirt
In episode four Noel sported this funky fruit print bowling shirt. It's another Lazy Oaf gem and luckily its in stock for those willing to drop a cool £80.
8 of 14Men's Curtis Purple & Orange Fruits Print Relaxed Slim Fit Shirt
For a more purse-friendly fruity look, why not grab this tropical shirt from Hawes & Curtis.
9 of 14Men's Tailored-Fit Red 'Beetle Botanical' Print Shirt
Noel's fetching floral shirt from episode five is from well-known designer Paul Smith, and is worth over £200! It's sold out right now, but we've found one for a much more affordable price online.
10 of 14Ben Sherman - Wine Floral Long Sleeve Regular Fit Shirt
This lookalike is available at just £55 - much better for our bank balance tbh.
11 of 14WAH-WAH x LAURA CALLAGHAN jumper
Noel's zaney pink jumper from Japanese week is available to pre-order from one of his fave brands, WAH WAH.
12 of 14ASOS DESIGN knitted jumper with floral design in oatmeal

13 of 14Lazy Oaf Work Of Art Shirt
It's another Lazy Oaf offering from Noel for episode seven, this time a black and white comic print shirt. This one's sold out too, even on US site Dollskill.com where it was on sale for under £60 - proper bargain that.
14 of 14Comic Doodle Print Button Front Blouse
This comic shirt is a great alternative and is available to shop online for less than £50! Dreamy.
Laura and Hermine went head to head in Patisserie week after both bakers' lesser performances left them at risk of being sent home by judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
Laura continued, "It's easy to sit there on your sofa and judge. But I am a real person with feelings.
"Please take a moment to consider your words before you judge someone you've never met and whose food you've never tasted."
Laura and Hermine both encountered problems in the latest episode, with Laura's mirror glaze not forming properly, and Hermine's showstopper turning out, in the words of Paul Hollywood, like a "rubber ball."
But, the judges ruled that Laura's showstopper cube cake tasted better, though she performed worse in the technical round, and it was left to Hermine to make her way home ahead of the final.
Fans of the show contested the judges decisions and, at the expense of Laura's feelings, took to social media to let their opinions be known.
"Hermine does a few things wrong and its a failure but laura has CONTINUOUSLY done bad and its just accepted?! #GBBO," wrote one viewer.
"Laura should have gone weeks ago. Hermine makes one mistake and is sent home?! Something has gone wrong #GBBO #GreatBritishBakeOff," commented another.
Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague even had her say about the matter, writing, "For my Bake Off fans... can I just say that I’m in complete shock that Hermine’s just been sent home ?!
"She’s messed up one thing and Laura’s messed up 6163 times? (No shade on Laura) but WTFFF 🤯🤯🤯 #bakeoff."
Wow guys, tell her how you really feel...
But, thankfully, there were some fans coming online to defend Laura.
One fan wrote, "I hope Laura is okay, there’s a lot on Twitter that could be taken the wrong way."
And, former Bake Off contestant Michael Chakraverty came to support Laura big time, writing that viewers can show support for their favourite contestants without being mean to others.
He continued, "If you have something sh-tty to say about any of the bakers, take your comment, put it in the bin, and climb in after it."
😂.
If there's anything we can take from #BakeOffGate it's this: be kind.

Laura's social media trolling comes just as William Hill released some truly wow worthy facts about the Channel 4 baking show.
According to the betting company, in the last 10 years of the show, roughly 3,640 biscuits have been made (WHAT?), almost 45,000 grams of flour have been used in the final episode alone and, wait for it...
73,975 GRAMS OF SUGAR.
Can you believe? Nutritionists everywhere are screaming.
There have been over 135 contestants, too. We can probably only remember about 20 of them, so that's quite bad, really.
Well, everyday's a school day, eh?
