What would the Great British Bake Off tent be without a resident 'chatter box' to boost morale? Let's be honest, it can often be a place of tension, soufflé disasters and mixing mishaps, so it's always good to have someone bright and cheerful in the line-up.
Enter Nadia, one of this year's most energetic bakers who has travelled to the Bake Off sent from Liverpool. She's not to be confused with Nadiya Hussain who won season six of the show when it was still on BBC.
Here's everything you need to know about Nadia.
Who is Nadia from Great British Bake Off?
Nadia loves 'bringing warmth and laughter' wherever she goes. She is from Liverpool and has Indian and Italian heritage and a lot of her favourite bakes are inspired by her Italian dad.
She lives at home with her partner Daniel and daughters Rosa-Bella and Maria. Nadia says Sundays are their sacred 'feast days' filled with homemade pasta, roasts and pudding.
How old is Nadia?
Nadia is 41 years old.
What does Nadia do for work?
Nadia works as a hairdresser and amateur baker. However, she also used to be a personal trainer, and will use her strength to her advantage under the pressure of the competition.
What has Nadia said about going on Bake Off?
For Nadia, baking is all about 'heart, heritage and keeping joy at the centre of it all'. Her favourite things to bake are novelty cakes and creative twists on classics, making her the perfect contestant for the show.
She joins the likes of Jessika and Jasmine to form this year's cast.
When is Bake Off next on?
Bake Off continues at 8pm on Channel 4 every Tuesday.
