The Great British Bake Off 2019 finalists
ALICE FEVRONIA

Star baker winners: 2
Alice grew up in a riverside town in Essex. At 15 years old, while recovering from a back operation for scoliosis and no longer able to do sport, she turned her hand to baking – and perfected the fruit pavlova while she was living in New Zealand in her early 20s, where she also attended art school.
Alice said: “To be on such a big show doing something that you are passionate about is a huge thing. I also felt that to be accepted into the tent gave me the confidence to feel that I could bake. It was a dream come true!”
DAVID ATHERTON
36-year-old International Health Adviser from London

Star baker winners: 0
David grew up in rural Yorkshire, where his mum inspired him to start baking. His passion was further developed by his travels to Malawi (among other places) with his work as a Health Advisor, where he learnt to build an oven out of an oil drum and invented a cake that could steam cook over a village fire.
David said: “I have watched Bake Off from the start, and I have daydreamed so many times walking to work about being in it for such a long time. And when I got accepted it was such a mixture of emotions. Then I thought this is really crazy, am I good enough, will I have enough time to practice?”
STEPH BLACKWELL
28-year-old Shop Assistant from Chester

Star baker winners: 4
Steph’s grandad got her baking with his love of homemade bread. She’s always loved making a mess in the kitchen, but she has been baking with a vengeance for the past three or so years. She is primarily self-taught and considers herself an ‘intermediate, still-learning’ baker.
Steph said: “It’s just beyond anything that I can imagine, because I didn’t really dream that I would get in, it has been the most incredible surreal experience.”
The Greatest British Bake Off 2019 airs at 8PM tonight on Channel 4, hosted by Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig, where the winner will be crowned.
