Who is Great British Bake Off 2022 contestant Abdul?
GREAT British Bake Off is back on the box with 12 bakers all hoping to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
One amateur baker who has been chosen to show off his skills on the 2022 series of GBBO is Abdul.
Who is Great British Bake Off 2022 contestant Abdul?
Abdul, 29, is an electronics engineer who lives in London.
Raised in Saudi Arabia to Pakistani parents, Abdul is the middle of three children – and the one who got into trouble for pulling apart the electronic devices around the house.
All’s well that ends well, though, and he is now an electronics engineer, dividing his time between London and Cambridge.
A keen salsa dancer, and a self-confessed space nerd, his interest in baking began when he and his graduate colleagues baked for each other to brighten up their daily coffee breaks.
He applies his precision thinking to the chemistry of creating bakes.
Matcha is among his favourite flavours.
