A popular Bake Off contestant shares that he's received some unsettling direct messages after gaining fame.
Dylan Bachelet, the charming and talented contestant on the beloved show Bake Off, is still adjusting to his newfound fame. The young chef has become a household name and captured the hearts of viewers as he impressed judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith with his innovative flavors in the Bake Off tent. While the judges were in awe of his creations, viewers couldn't help but also notice his good looks, making him somewhat of a sex symbol as the competition progressed.

Although he didn't take home the ultimate prize, Dylan has been receiving plenty of attention from fans. In a recent interview with The Guardian, he shared that while walking around London, he was recognized every five minutes and stopped for photos and well wishes. "It's been overwhelming but in the best way possible," he admitted. However, he did mention receiving a few "creepy" direct messages, which is a new experience for him.

Despite all the attention, Dylan has no plans to capitalize on his appearance. "I've never been ogled before," he revealed, "It's not something I'd ever lean into. I won't be starting an OnlyFans." He even joked about his sister sending him TikTok clips of himself blow-torching a meringue in slow motion. "The weirdest part is that it wasn't in the food section, it was in the fashion pages," he added with a laugh.

But the attention doesn't just stop in the UK. The New York Times hailed him as the "Captain Jack Sparrow of baking," which Dylan found amusing but unexpected. "I wasn't expecting that kind of attention, especially not focused on my appearance," he shared. The comparisons to the famous pirate don't bother him, though. In fact, he thinks it would be pretty cool to be the "actual Jack Sparrow of baking" and sail around with his friends.

Despite not winning the competition, Dylan has already achieved his dream of becoming a professional chef. He secured a job at the prestigious Michelin star restaurant, The Five Fields in Chelsea, and his success has been celebrated by both his fans and colleagues. The restaurant even posted a series of photos of him in the kitchen on social media, congratulating him on making it to the finals and expressing their pride in his accomplishments.

Fans have also been showing their support for Dylan's journey. One follower commented, "It's fabulous that he has found a job in a kitchen already. He is going to be a star!" Another wrote, "Well done Dylan - you will go far. Don't ever lose that fantastic personality of yours." And a third fan gushed, "Congratulations on your achievements in Bake Off Dylan, but even bigger congratulations on your journey to come."

It's clear that Dylan has made a lasting impression on both the show and its viewers, and his future in the culinary world looks bright. The Great British Bake Off is currently streaming on Channel 4, so be sure to catch Dylan's incredible creations and charming personality in action. And who knows, maybe we'll see him as the next Captain Jack Sparrow of baking in the near future.
