Jenny, who runs her own studio, had already hinted at her exit on a Facebook post ahead of last night’s Channel 4 show, writing: “Get your hankies ready for a very emotional episode.”

The show had started with 12 potters and last week she was named one of the judge's favourites of the week – hot on the heels of winning the previous week’s show.

But there was to be no glory for Jenny, who works out of a studio in North Lincolnshire.

The full time, 43, lives with her two children, husband, two cats and four chickens.
