BAKE OFF star Janusz is one of the favourites to win this year’s competition, according to a bookmaker.

Sports betting site OLGB suggests the 34-year-old from Brighton is third to win the show with roughly a 23 per cent chance of taking home the title.

Janusz has won star baker twice this series so far, with Maxy also winning the coveted title twice.

However, Sandro is the current favourite to win the series with odds of 2/1.

Janusz, a personal assistant to a headteacher, grew up in Poland before moving to the UK ten years ago.

He lives in Brighton with his boyfriend, Simon, and their sausage dog Nigel.

Apart from baking, his passions include internet culture, watching drag, and collecting movie props.

Janusz describes his baking style as “cartoon-like, colourful and camp” and enjoys working Polish ingredients into British staples.

He was inspired to bake by his mother, who always baked on a Saturday, a tradition Janusz continued when he moved away from home to go to university.

The Great British Bake Off is on every Tuesday on Channel 4.
