The Great British Bake Off is back with a fresh batch of bakers all ready to show the nation what they can whip up in the kitchen, including Rebs. But who will be cooking up a storm in the famous white Bake Off tent, and who will be suffering from a soggy bottom?
Rebs is one of the 12 bakers from The Great British Bake Off 2022 (or The Great British Baking Show if you are in the US!) and here is everything you need to know about her...
Who is Rebs from the Great British Bake Off?
Rebs is a Masters Student from Country Antrim in Northern Ireland, who likes to bake as a way to de-stress.
She enjoys cooking with Middle Eastern ingredients, which is a nod to her boyfriend Jack’s Turkish heritage, and remembers baking with her mum when she was just three years old. She says: "When I was very small I used to help my mum in the kitchen when she was baking which, in reality, was more me just making a mess with flour and eating raw cake batter with a spoon. My grannies and aunts were all fabulous bakers and really inspired me as a child, however, many of them passed before they could show me their tips and tricks."
When she first heard that she would be on the show, Rebs said: "I never ever actually dreamed I would get into the tent! I grew up watching the show for years with my mum and, after only really taking up baking in 2020, I wasn’t sure I would have had what it takes to make it to the final 12, but thankfully I did!"
"Personally, I think my strengths are my strong flavours as everything packs a big punch which is what I love. My weaknesses are definitely trying to bake everything on time and being the biggest messer you’ve ever seen."
Rebs often shares her bakes on social media. You can find her on Instagram
