He’s the Bake Off star you most want a bear hug from – and now he’s here to help you avoid a Crimbo kitchen crisis. Bear hugs not included. Soz.
When the rest of the Bake Off contestants were frantically assembling towers of baked goods or flapping a tea-towel over their creations, he was often seen casually sipping a cup of tea or offering to help his fellow bakers with a last minute pastry emergency.
So who better to help you cook your way to a crisis-free Christmas Dinner this year than 30-year old Selasi Gbormittah?
As he arrives at the heat kitchen and whips on his apron, he tells us: “Now I feel at home.”
His chilled out style is clearly still intact. He’s come up with a Christmas menu that will allow you plenty of time to enjoy your favourite Christmas tipple (Selasi says he loves a cheeky mulled wine) and crank up the festive choons (Wham’s Last Christmas, in case you were wondering. We won’t judge.)

Now try this PROPER TASTY Christmas recipe …
SAUSAGE, BACON AND CRANBERRY FILO CUPS
“This is my take on pigs in blanket. It’s easy to prepare in advance and you don’t have to make the pastry from scratch, you can buy it pre-made and throw away the receipt. I won’t tell anyone!”
Makes 20
