Terry, get set . . . bake! Retired air steward starts his Bake Off challenge
It is "On your marks, get set…bake!" for a retired air steward with a Shropshire connection as The Great British Bake Off returns to our screens.
Fifty-six-year-old Terry says baking is his ‘zen place’ and hopes he can remain calm and create sensational bakes that can wow judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
Already dubbed the 'man with the best moustache of the series' it is hopeful relaxed Terry could go all the way in this year's show.
Bake Off bosses have said Terry’s background as a prosthetic technician, as well as spoils from his own microbrewery and allotment, are all evident in his baking – particularly in the precision, science and flavour of his creations.
Terry is from Dudley but, as we reveal tomorrow, he has a Shropshire connection that should have the county rooting for him.
Channel Four have been fiercely protective over the details of the contestants and Terry has not given his surname and only admits to being from the West Midlands.
The Great British Bake Off sees 12 contestants try to impress the judges with a fine selection of delicious cakes, tarts, and breads.
It will appear on Channel 4 for the second year running this year, after being bought from BBC in 2017.
Former judge Mary Berry, as well as hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, left the show when it transferred to Channel 4, but judge Paul Hollywood stayed on.
Prue Leith stepped in as the replacement for Mary, while new hosts Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig also joined.
Bake Off is back on Channel 4 tonight from 8pm.
