#GBBO, we’ve missed you.
The return of the Great British Bake Off is a Christmas gift from the BBC. This year, it’s ever more special as it is the last of the Bake Off as we know it.
Fans of the show are on Twitter communally enjoying the show. As we all tearfully prepare to say goodbye, one special guest has brought some extra joy to Christmas day.
Norman is the best contestant the Bake Off has ever seen.
Norman is a true Scot and lives on the north east coast of Scotland. Now retired, Norman joined the Merchant Navy at the age of 19 where he worked as a radio operator and travelled the world. He describes one of his proudest moments as being when he fell overboard three miles off the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific and swam to shore, only to be picked up by an inter-Island cruiser near Papua New Guinea.
Norman plays the clarinet and makes clocks and pottery in his own kiln, which he’s installed in a studio at home. He works in slab pottery and creates small sculptures from clay.
Norman is a goddamn hero and everyone knows it.
Welcome back Norman.
NORMAN IS BACK IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE 💖💖 #gbboxmas
