What has Rochica done on the Great British Bake Off 2021?
It was her garlicky focaccia and her bread-lacking showstopper that brought Rochica's time in the tent to an end.
Week three was bread week, a scary prospect under the watchful eye of bread expert Paul Hollywood.
Rochica had a rough start in the signature challenge, when she received critiques that her focaccia was too garlicky.
The bakers then had to make ciabattas in a tight-on-time technical, which saw Rochica place last.
Having struggled in the first two challenges the milk bread showstopper was Rochica's opportunity to pull it back.
Sadly it was not to be, with the judges saying Rochica's bird cage milk bread did not contain a whole loaf of bread.
What has Rochica said about appearing on the show?

“I think my Cinnamon and Nutmeg Birdcage wasn’t as elaborate as some of the other showstoppers.
“I knew it was definitely my worst week and I wasn’t going to get another chance, I actually got quite emotional at that moment.”
