Abbi has "always watched Bake Off" and it has always been a dream - albeit "very far off" - of hers to take part.
"When I was going through the application process, I kept forcing my expectations down, saying to myself that I wouldn't get on," she told Channel 4.
"I definitely emitted a high-pitched noise when I found out; I hope I didn't scare the neighbours!"
Abbi described the Bake Off experience as "completely surreal", and that it was "so cool" to meet Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding in the tent.
When does The Great British Bake Off 2023 start?
The new season of The Great British Bake Off will start at 8pm on Tuesday 26th September on Channel 4.
The official Twitter account for GBBO announced the news earlier this month, and wrote: "Bake a date in your diaries. Join Paul, Prue, Noel and Alison on Tuesday 26th September for the return of The Great British Bake Off."
