The Great British Bake Off is back and viewers have already decided that one contestant is a clear favourite.
56-year-old Jurgen has already proven a massive hit with some viewers saying he "needs to be protected at all costs".
Originally from the Black Forest in Germany, Jurgen moved to the UK in 2003 and now lives with his wife and son overlooking the sea.
Unable to find traditional German bread in his adopted home, Jürgen decided to bake his own – and his passion for baking has grown ever since. He is particularly well-known for his Jewish challah bread, and for the celebration cakes that he loves to bake for friends and family.
One viewer said: "Does Jurgen do life counselling? I feel like he could solve all my problems."
Another said: "If you don’t go awww when Jurgen is on screen what is wrong with you."
While one fan added: "Jurgen is giving me German Richard Kind and HONESTLY I can't think of a higher compliment."
The new series began with a hilarious homage to country music legend Billy Ray Cyrus - Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith donned a mullet for the skit where they performed Achy Breaky Heart.
And 12 bakers will now battle for the coming months to see who comes out on top in the prestigious show.
