Sussex's remaining contribution to the Great British Bake Off tent has been eliminated after her showstopper failed to impress judges.
After a series of successes during her time on the show, 31-year-old pantomime producer Lottie, who is based in Sussex, had her bake described as 'terrible' and 'underwhelming'.
As 80's week took hold, contestants faced the challenge of creating quiche along with custard and jam finger donuts.
Despite warnings from judge Paul Hollywood, Lottie went ahead with her plans for a chocolate mixtape-shaped chocolate cake.
Co-judge Prue Leith did offer some sympathy, branding the ice cream layer of the cake as 'delicious'.
The result has been a source of contention amongst some fans of the show, with this week's showstopper being ice cream cake, and the episode being filmed on the hottest day of the year - and fellow contestant Laura also suffering with her cake.
Speaking on the show, Lottie said:
"Obviously I am gutted.
"I literally had packed two outfits, and here I am in Week Seven wearing everyone else's clothes.
"I cannot believe the stuff that I have done. I got a handshake and a Star Baker - maybe I can bake."
