Getting to know...Liam Charles

The Bake Off contestant has several TV shows and cookbooks to his name, and ambitions to be a superhero!

-  JIM MALONEY

I studied drama at university. If my career hadn't taken a different direction after being a contestant on The Great British Bake Off I would have seen myself as probably a drama teacher - or maybe an actor.

I hate watching myself on TV because I always seem to be making strange facial expressions. So, I kind of stopped watching.

I really love ten pin bowling. I go with my friends pretty much every Friday and I'm a bit competitive.

Recently I got my highest score of 209, and got six strikes in a row. The people on five lanes either side of me stopped bowling and watched. Some professionals even said, "We've never seen that before in our lives."
