Great British Bake Off Liverpool contestant Lizzie 'frantic and messy'

The Great British Bake Off is set to start on Channel 4 next week and a contestant from Liverpool is hoping to bring home the prize.

Lizzie, 28, is one of the 12 contestants who will be taking part in the 2021 series.

Wallasey's Paul Hollywood will be returning to judge this season - and the 55-year-old celebrity chef has hit out at trolls after contestants last year where subjected to 'disgusting' abuse.

He said: "This can really, really hurt people.

"I’ve learned to live with it, but it’s not fair on the bakers. You’ve got to be really careful. This can damage people."

Matt Lucas, Noel Fielding and Prue Leith will also all be returning for Great British Bake Off when it airs next week.

Here's everything you need to know about Liverpool contestant Lizzie.

Great British Bake Off contestant Lizzie

Lizzie, 28, and her partner live with their dog, Prudence, in an annex in her parents’ garden.

A baker who prefers simple presentation and believes in flavour and quantity over precision, Lizzie may look like she’s frantic and messy on the outside, but she is usually calm and collected within.

Her baking comfort zone is cake, but she loves experimenting with flavour and is generally prepared to give anything a go… as long as it doesn’t involve putting cheese in bread, which she thinks can only spell disaster.

When she’s not baking, Lizzie can be found on the dance floor, doing the samba in a suitably jazzy costume.

Or investigating the lives of serial killers, a fascination she developed during her study for her criminology degree.

Great British Bake Off will be back on Tuesday, September 21 at 8pm on Channel 4.
