The bakers are all buzzing with excitement, hoping for a coveted handshake from the infamous Paul Hollywood.

The judges, Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith, will be joined by the hilarious duo of presenters, Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond, as they guide and support the bakers through the tough competition.

But without further ado, let's meet the talented bakers of Great British Bake Off 2024! First up, we have Christiaan, a 33-year-old menswear designer from London. Originally from the Netherlands, Christiaan moved to the UK seven years ago to work for a leading fashion brand. His eye for fashion and design is evident in his meticulously detailed and beautiful bakes, which also reflect his love for gardening through the use of floral scents and citrus flavors. For Christiaan, bread holds a special place in his heart, reminding him of the age-shaped bakes his mother would make for him and his siblings on their birthdays.
Next, we have Sumayah, a 19-year-old dentistry student from Lancashire. Currently on her gap year and living with her family, Sumayah is indulging her passion for baking before embarking on her studies. Being self-taught, Sumayah takes great pride in researching and combining various techniques and recipes to create unique and imaginative bakes that fuse different cultures and flavors. Her love for baking was solidified when she created a towering macaron masterpiece for her aunt's wedding celebration, which included 240 macarons in four different flavors and a cascade of flowers.
Then there's Andy, a 44-year-old car mechanic from Essex. Andy's love for baking began when he was a child, learning from his mother and making family favorites like apple crumble and Bakewell tarts. Now, he bakes for his partner and hopes to inspire his daughter to follow in his baking footsteps. A big fan of football and fitness, Andy's dream is to recreate the Emirates Football Stadium and its surroundings using cake.
Dylan, a 20-year-old retail temp from Buckinghamshire, brings a fusion of Indian and Japanese-Belgian influences to his baking. After taking a gap year to travel through Southeast Asia, exploring the food and meeting new people, Dylan's cooking style reflects his diverse roots. He loves experimenting with the perfect balance of sweetness and spice in his bakes, with a presentation style inspired by Japanese and French pastry chefs.
Georgie, a 34-year-old pediatric nurse from Carmarthenshire, has a deep love for food and baking, instilled in her by her Italian grandmother, Nonna Rosa. She also finds inspiration from nature, foraging for ingredients in the fields and hedgerows around her, as well as in her own garden and during her travels. Along with her husband and three children, Georgie also shares her home with ten chickens, two ducks, two dogs, and a cat.
Last but definitely not least, we have Gill, a 53-year-old senior category manager from Lancashire. Baking has always been a part of Gill's life, with her family making it a fun and bonding activity while growing up.
