According to Bake Off's website, Jurgen is originally from the Black Forest in Germany, and he moved to the UK in 2003.

He made it through episode six of the show last night, as bakers were asked to make a terrine pie for "pastry week".

Amanda was sadly eliminated, while Crystelle won "star baker".
