Sadly for the avid baker, she was sent home last night in a double eviction.
Bake Off's Rebs has since opened up to her social media followers on what happens when cameras aren’t on the contestants.
The star said there was “chaos” backstage, as she re-shared a snap of herself that said: “@rebsbakes providing our weekly dose of chaos.”
She replied: “And chaos it was,” over the top of the snap, as well as opening up on enjoying cocktails on the show.
Hinting that they enjoyed a backstage beverage, Rebs shared another snap and wrote: “While it was painful to go, leaving with my gorgeous gorgeous bestie eased the pain, (and so did all the cocktails that night!!!!)”
Rebs’ candid posts come after the star revealed her incredible figure on social media.
The blonde beauty took to Instagram as she showed off her hourglass figure in a stunning yellow dress.
Dozens of fans were quick to comment on her look, too, with many left gushing over the 23-year-old baker.
Alongside an array of red love heart emojis, one person penned: "Absolutely stunningly beautiful with the figure of a goddess. And you can bake - what a package!"

Echoing their comments, someone else said: "Wow. Just wow. Have a great day and fingers crossed you’re star baker tonight."
While a third added: "You wearing that in the Bake Off tent? Stunning!"
Baker Rebs spent her childhood in the countryside in Northern Ireland and loves everything to do with Irish culture – she can Irish dance and play the tin whistle.
Her earliest baking memory is of being a child, aged only three years old, helping her mum in the kitchen, as well as eating her granny’s renowned lemon meringue pies.
