A PAEDO teacher who fled to France with a 15-year-old girl has been sacked from his bakery job after bosses found out about his past.
The Sun revealed how Jeremy Forrest had reinvented himself as an artisan baker in Kent after he was released from jail.
But the 40-year-old's contract has now been terminated with "immediate effect".
The bakery said his dark past had come "as a shock" to the "close knit team" in a statement on social media.
It added: "Since learning of the sensitive nature of this employee's history, it was mutually agreed that it was in the best interest of Gilda that his employment was terminated with immediate effect."
Forrest, who worked a chef while in prison, was spotted leaving his job wearing a white baker’s apron this week.
A bio on the bakery’s website said: “(Jeremy) is proudly a 5th generation baker, learning everything he knows from the experienced bakers that have passed down their tried and tested methods.
“He was promoted to Head Baker, thanks to his extraordinary passion for sourdough, hard work and commitment.
“He never stops learning about the process, care and attention that goes into making the perfect loaf.
“Jeremy loves his dogs and a sing-song — he plays guitar and lead vocals in a band that regularly gigs!”

The bio did not mention his teaching career and instead said he spent most of his working life at his family bakery.
Forrest sparked an international manhunt in 2012 when he fled the country with the 15-year-old schoolgirl.
The UK search came to a halt after CCTV footage was released of them embracing on a ferry from Dover to Calais.
The married teacher, then aged 30, was recognised by a barman in Bordeaux, France, when he applied for a job.
Forrest, who is originally from Inverurie in Aberdeenshire, was convicted of child abduction and five counts of sexual activity with a child.
He was jailed the following year for five-and-a-half years at Lewes Crown Court.
Forrest, who had to sign the sex offenders register for life, was released from prison after serving half his sentence.
He has since got married again and goes by the name Jeremy Buonocore.
