Formal portrait of Liam.


Liam on Bake Off last year.

I have discovered that Liam Charles, who finished fifth last year on Bake Off, is now co-hosting Bake Off: The Professionals, and the show just got 1000% more watchable for me. Look at his faaaace! He’s so goofy and adorable on camera, and equally lovable in the interview linked below.

Interview with Liam in The Guardian newspaper, from which these photos were taken.

I LOVE LIAM!! He was one of my faves, and he learned so much through the bake off!! I didn't know he was co-hosting this - same as you, that makes it much more watchable for me.

The first two series of this (when it was still on the Beeb and called Bake Off: Creme de la Creme) were pretty dull, I thought. They kept all the technical elements and lost everything that made the original Bake Off enjoyable. But by getting rid of the overly serious judge and adding a pair of funny co-hosts - the very camp Tom Allen is paired with Liam and the two have great chemistry - they've brought back the warmth and the charm. Will keep watching, for sure!

Oh yay, I had no idea he was co-hosting! He has such a great and easy manner on TV - I will be thrilled to watch him again!

He's relaxed, warm, and funny on the show. A natural presenter. I hope you enjoy it! :)
