The Great British Bake Off have unveiled this year's contestants - and the group includes a man from Bristol.
Bake Off returns next Tuesday, 21st September on Channel 4.
He's not, of course, the first contestant to come from our region - Bristol's Briony May Williams reached the semi-finals in 2018, and retired substitute Val Stones from Yeovil took part in 2016.
His official baker bio, according the the programme says "Giuseppe now lives in Bristol with his wife and their three young (and noisy!) sons."
"His love for baking comes from his father, a professional chef who did all the cooking at home as Giuseppe was growing up, including making a cake every Sunday."
"Inspired by this Italian heritage, Giuseppe loves using Italian flavours in his bakes, while he also brings his engineer’s precision to the results."
"A self-confessed food snob, he is determined to feed his children homemade confectionary, rather than anything that’s been mass-produced."
"When he’s not baking, Giuseppe loves indulging his passion for design and architecture, and with his wife has renovated their family home. He also loves gardening."
