Who is Michelle Evans-Fecci?

Growing up on a farm, it was Michelle's mother that introduced her to baking and made her fall in love with it.

She now lives in the Welsh seaside town of Tenby with her husband and teenage son, for whom she bakes almost every other day, be it a simple breakfast loaf or something sweet for pudding.

The most important thing for Michelle is using good-quality, local produce and seasonal vegetables from her own patch.

She is a precise baker who creates finessed bakes but doesn't shy away from experimenting with new and innovative flavour combinations.

Michelle says she was emotional when she found out she had made it onto Bake Off: "I cry when I am happy and cry when I am sad. I have wanted it for so long, so I couldn’t believe it.

"I have been quite limited to the amount of people that I have told, but I think they will be so pleased as they know I have wanted it for so so long, so they will be really pleased."
