Former Great British Bake Off winner John Whaite is among the contestants in this year’s final of Strictly Come Dancing.
The 33-year-old, who was born in Chorley, Lancashire, won the third series of Great British Bake Off in 2012, aged 23.
Whaite said he was “grateful, excited, and nervous” about joining Strictly after his appearance on the show was confirmed by current Great British Bake Off co-host Matt Lucas on BBC Radio 2’s breakfast show.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturday nights on BBC One.
