The BBC has succeeded in ticking every quota possible with this year's contestants, from a Filipino nurse to a Welsh prison governor and a British-Bangladeshi mother of three.

In episode one, the bakers will be asked to create a Madeira cake for their first signature bake followed by Mary's frosted walnut cake for the technical challenge - a difficult combination of sponge, buttercream and sweet meringue.

Who will crumble at the first hurdle? Only Mary and Paul can separate the wheat from the chaff.
