House husband, renowned travel photographer and the Dalai Lama's personal photographer when he visits the UK apparently. Still not the best baker though :)
I did wonder how they could afford a house like that on one wage :lol: and why does the Dalai Lama require a 'personal photographer', what's wrong with the paps? That's what other celebs get :wink:

We love it in our house and this was the first year the children got to watch the series in real time, as it were. I think it was the best series yet and Nadiya was a very worthy winner - we were definitely rooting for her. I found Ian enormously smug - was so glad he didn't win!

This is the first series I have watched and I am hooked! Not a fan of lipstick lady and sad to see Selassie voted out just now...

Hmmm...all seemed a bit contrived when Mel peeked in Candice's note book and at the top of one of the pages it read something like Week 7: wear mulberry lip.......!!!! I wonder if she has already got an agent....?!

I've never really watched Bake off but have seen episodes occasionally. I've always been impressed with what the produce (my baking is very good but the appearance would never win any awards!). Is it me or do their concoctions frequently look a mess in this series?
