WHY do you report the contestant leaving The Great British Bake Off each week (“Latest Bake Off contestant bows out after serving ‘custard soup’”, The Herald, August 27)? If I don't watch Bake Off, it's of no interest to me. If I watch Bake Off, I already know the result and if I've recorded it to view later you've printed the spoiler of the day.

Reality television is not news.
