Iain creatively combines his passion for live music with artisan breadmaking, imprinting album artwork onto the crusts of his sourdough loaves. While he bakes, Iain skillfully merges traditional flavors with innovative spins, frequently incorporating fermented fruits and vegetables into his creations.
Within the tent, Iain aims to establish a lasting impact as ‘Iain from Belfast’ in the realm of Bake Off, with this attempt being his definitive one.
Jasmine

In addition to her professional work in medicine, Jasmine finds her creative release through baking. She particularly relishes the opportunity to utilize fresh, seasonal produce to construct timeless flavor pairings.

Expressing affection through homemade pastries is something that truly resonates with Jessika, and she takes great care to learn about her friends’ favorite flavors for many months in advance, ensuring a delightful personalized surprise on their birthday with an exquisite entremet.

Leighton

Location: Surrey
Job: Software delivery manager
Leighton enjoys blending classic Welsh, British, and American tastes in his baking endeavors, particularly enjoying the combinations of Welsh cakes mixed with peanut butter and Victoria Sponge filled with key lime pie.
Leighton exclaimed, “I would have never believed that I’d end up in the Bake Off tent! Yes, I know everyone says this, but honestly, it’s not an exaggeration. I am utterly smitten with baking – whether it’s traditional or modern styles. I’ve always been a weekend baker for my friends, family, and colleagues at work. My passion for baking has always been there, but I never envisioned it would take me to the tent.
Lesley
Age: 59
Location: Kent
Job: Hairdresser
For over four decades, Lesley has been a skilled hairdresser, and visitors to her salon will consistently find a delightful piece of cake served alongside their styling session.
Ever since she turned ten, she’s been honing her baking skills, inspired by her grandmother and aunt who initially instilled the fundamentals in her and ignited a deep-seated love for it that has continued to flourish throughout her life.
Nadia
Age: 41
Location: Liverpool
Job: Hairdresser
Drawing inspiration from her Italian culinary father, Nadia infuses homey appeal and rich tastes into all her baking creations.
Nadia exclaimed, “I never imagined in a million chances I’d make it onto The Great British Bake Off. But when I found out I’d been accepted, I was at work in my salon. I had to keep up appearances for the remainder of that appointment, stifling the urge to scream!
Nataliia
Age: 32
Location: East Yorkshire
Job: Office assistant
Nataliia learned to bake from her grandma, who passed on family recipes that were originally passed down for many years.
To the present day, she continues to employ those exact recipes and imbues traditional British pastries with flavors reminiscent of her heritage, such as honey, poppy seeds, and spices like nutmeg and cinnamon.
Pui Man
Age: 51
Location: Essex
Job: Bridal designer
Pui Man is meticulous with her designs, particularly in creating a stunning wedding dress and her delectable pastries as well.
During the lockdown, she found her passion for baking once again and hasn’t regretted it since. Her baked goods are not only visually striking but also daringly bold.
When she tears herself away from baking, Pui Man can be found knitting with a pint.
Toby
Age: 29
Location: Warwickshire
Job: Business development executive
Toby prefers a simple, nutritious method when it comes to baking and often opts for traditional recipes and tastes because he thinks they’re timeless favorites due to their inherent quality.
Instead, Toby might find the Bread Week particularly useful given his deep-seated love for baking bread, as he consistently whips up unique creations each day.
Tom
Age: 31
Location: London
Job: Creative entrepreneur
As a passionate movie buff, I’ve discovered a new passion in the kitchen – crafting scones and flapjacks side by side with my mom and grandmother. After taking a break from running my own advertising agency, I find myself drawn back into the world of baking, where I infuse creativity and elegance into every beautifully presented treat.
