In his leaving letter, Jürgen compared his experience to flying to the moon, stating, ‘Who wants to fly to the moon if you can be on Bake Off? It was such a fantastic ride!’
After his elimination, Jürgen explained that he ‘kind of saw it coming,' adding 'I think the others are more shocked than I am,’
He continued: ‘It’s been incredible. I’ve really enjoyed being here, I’ve made friends for life and I will be with them in spirit.’
