Upset newlywed Maeve, 29, was seen sharing her feelings with her co-stars during the latest Dinner Party.

She attended the event alone, as her husband Joe was away for a family funeral.

Sitting at the table in a bright neon dress, she admitted: “I can feel the tears coming.”

“I just feel taken for granted.”

She then requested her friends, including Grace, to join her in a separate room where she tearfully shared: “I feel like I’m being completely taken for granted; I just hate this.”

“I understand going to a funeral; I get that, but that’s not what upsets me.”

“I recognize that you need space to handle your matters, but you haven’t kept me informed.”

She continued, “I feel utterly disregarded by the whole situation. Don’t tell me you love me and then leave.”

“It feels like I’m just another girl who’s been let down.”

“Here I am, feeling upset over a guy again.”

“I’ve done everything and more for him.”

“But just communicate, do you know what I mean?”

“What do I do now?”

Bake Off Recap - Cake Week

It was a battle of skill in Bake Off’s meringue week—catch up before tonight’s episode.

Not as Easy as Pie

The show’s inaugural meringue week began with bakers creating 12 mini meringue pies for their signature challenge. Jasmine received a Prue handshake for her raspberry and passionfruit creation, while Lesley’s “chewy” lemon version failed to impress, leading her to be the seventh contestant eliminated from the tent.

The Show Must Go On

Things became technical when bakers were tasked with making a classic meringue-based soufflé.

Iain’s flawless dome won over the judges, while others struggled with collapsing middles and lackluster flavors.

Race Against the Clock

Facing challenging timings and melting ingredients, bakers had to create a vacherin glacé—a meringue and ice cream dessert—for the showstopper. Toby’s lactose-free creation was ambitious, and Jasmine’s fruit-filled dessert was striking, but many others struggled to maintain their structures.

It remains uncertain if the couple will resolve their issues during the upcoming Commitment Ceremony.

Love Story

The couple initially appeared to be doing well, with discussions of “love” on the horizon.

However, in recent days, Joe has indicated that he may no longer have those feelings for Maeve, and viewers saw him move out of their apartment.

He later returned, but things did not improve.

Problems escalated when Joe expressed doubts about their relationship’s viability outside of the experiment.

This revelation infuriated Maeve, leading to a heated exchange where Joe stormed off, leaving Maeve exclaiming: “I can't believe Joe
