"Matty's a big fan of citrus and nut flavours and will demand 20 press ups from all who disagree," reads an Instagram post on the Channel 4 programme's account. According to the official GBBO website, the 28-year-old "is the type of baker who swats up on online patisserie videos before bed". "Now the family’s designated baker, he always has a list of cake requests for upcoming celebrations. "He describes his style as rustic but neat, and his flavour preferences as quite traditional – he particularly loves chocolate, citrus and nuts. "Once his days in the tent are over, his next – and even bigger – challenge will be to make his own wedding cake, a special commission from his fiancée, Lara."
