The Great British Baking Show is now streaming its latest season on Netflix, and the cast of collection seven is definitely living up to expectations! Thirteen amateur bakers, all with colorful personalities and a shared love for baking, entered the tent this year, and for once, Netflix is streaming episodes on a weekly basis to coordinate with the UK broadcast, rather than dropping the full season to binge at once. As the new season gets underway, we're already loving the new batch of contestants. Keep reading to learn a little bit more about each of the cast members, courtesy of their official Channel 4/Netflix bios also published in The Telegraph, and where you can find them all on social media! (No spoilers here — we've included every baker, whether they've been eliminated or not.)
