The Great British Bake Off is back with a new batch of bakers getting ready to whip up some amazing creations in the famous tent, including Janusz. But who's going to be winning the approval of the judges and who's going to be hiding their soggy bottoms?
Janusz is one of the 12 bakers on The Great British Bake Off 2022 (or The Great British Baking Show if you're in the US). Here's everything you need to know about him...
Who is Janusz from The Great British Bake Off?
Polish-born Janusz is a Personal Assistant to a Head Teacher who moved to the UK 10 years ago and is now living with his boyfriend, Simon and their sausage dog, Nigel on the southeast coast.
When he's not baking up a storm in the kitchen, his passions are internet culture, watching drag (he bought his boyfriend a statue of Ru Paul) and collecting movie props.
He was inspired to bake by his mother, who always baked on a Saturday — a tradition he kept up when he moved away from home to go to university and loves incorporating Polish ingredients into British staples.
His favourite flavours include ginger and chocolate.
How old is Janusz from The Great British Bake Off?
Janusz is 34 and loves including Polish ingredients into his bakes.
