MIDLAND BUSINESS EXEC PRAISES 'FRIENDLY' HOSTS NOEL AND ALISON
A ROLLER skating drag king and a bridal designer are among those competing on this year's series of The Great British Bake Off.
Twelve bakers, including two hairdressers and a creative entrepreneur, have been announced for series 16 ahead of the return of the baking contest on Channel 4.
Among them is Midland business development executive Toby who grew up in the seaside town of Sidmouth and now lives with his girlfriend Syd in Warwickshire with their rescue dog Bex.
The 29-year-old said it was surreal to meet hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding and added: "They were honestly just so friendly and we had a hug and introduced ourselves.
"I do remember I felt an overwhelming need to be interesting... whether I was successful or not, I'm not sure I want to know."
