Last week’s biscuit challenge proved too much for student Maisam, who became the second person to exit the show after Will’s departure in the opening episode.
Star baker went to Maxy, who also received a sought-after handshake from Paul Hollywood.
But she wasn’t the only baker to shine, with Rebs winning the challenge to make Garibaldi biscuits, with James and Sandro completing the top three.
James, from Glasgow, is one of two Scots who made it to week three, along with Kevin from Lanarkshire.
Here’s everything you need to know about all 10 bakers and their odds on winning, from the hot favourite to the longshot.

9. Kevin - 16/1
Surrounded by family and much-loved animals, Kevin is devoted to his nearest and dearest and spends as much time as possible with his wife, Rachel, and his siblings and their partners, laughing, eating and playing board games. A talented musician, who not only teaches but also performs, Kevin is principally a saxophonist, but is accomplished at the flute, the piano and the clarinet too. He began baking when he was 17. His ethos in the kitchen is to use the best, seasonal ingredients and to spend time refining his technique – with these in hand, he believes the presentation will take care of itself. He loves interesting combinations of fruits, herbs, nuts and spices. Photo: mark bourdillon
10. Dawn - 16/1
The eldest of three children, Dawn lives with her partner Trevor (the self-styled person who tidies up the kitchen after her!) and is mother to three, step-mother to two, and gran/step-gran to four. Describing herself as an artist in and out of the kitchen, Dawn loves the challenge of an illusion cake (the more impossible-sounding, the better), favouring whacky and intricate designs that allow her to express her creative talent. She prides herself on her steady hand and attention to detail, especially when it comes to the intricacy required for lace patterns on biscuits. Her favourite flavours are lemon, salted caramel and anything nutty. Photo: Mark Bourdillon
