Sam and Mark welcome vloggers Marcus Butler and Oli White to the tent to assist the judges in tasting the bakes and much to the delight of the finalists who are massive Marcus and Oli fans. After all that excitement, the judges really step up the pressure by giving the bakers their final and toughest technical challenge yet - a surprise recipe for chocolate passion fruit meringue pies.

It's the semi-final and the remaining young bakers have their knowledge put to the test in a series of tough technical challenges, which include replicating Graham Hornigold's piping skills and rectifying the deliberate mistake in Allegra McEvedy's blueberry muffins. Only four will make it through to the final.
