how do i fix my light bulb?

The light bulb cracked while putting it in. How do I unscrew the remaining bulb without the glass?

A carrot works best, push hard into the broken part and twist. make sure electric is turned off at mains 1st

or even do as before, but use a towl and press into the bulb center with your thmb ( cover tumb with a layer of the towl)
and twist the bayonet end as if you normaly would to remove it
