A Co Antrim British Bake off contestant has defended herself online after people questioned her absence from last night's show.
23-year-old Rebecca Lightbody, also known as 'Rebs', was unable to take part in this week's bread baking challenge due to illness, reports Buzz.ie.
Fellow contestant Abdul Rehman Sharif, an electronics engineer from the South-East, was also absent from Tuesday's show on the same grounds, leaving some to accuse them both of 'pulling a sickie'.
