Great British Bake Off’s Sandro’s life off screen from cosy home to job
11.10.2022 - 17:49 / ok.co.uk
With the Great British Bake Off 2022 now officially well and truly in full swing, week after week viewers at home have been treated to a visual feast as the bakers try their hand at cakes, biscuits, bread and even a very controversial taco recipe. Yet while many viewers have been delighted by the bakes themselves, some fans have been tuning in simply to catch a glimpse of Sandro Farmhouse, a London based contestant hoping to wow the judges with his stunning baking skills.
Easily winning over fans and judges alike with his clear technical skills and a charming smile to boot, Sandro has rapidly become a firm favourite at home - with many fans excitedly looking forward to seeing what edible creation he will whip up next. But who exactly is Sandro? Here’s what we know so far… How old is Sandro and where is he from? Born Nelsandro Farmhouse, 30 year old Sandro originally hails from the Central African nation of Angola, but soon moved to England as a child, where he was raised in London by his mum.
Having lost his dad at a young age, Sandro found support from his mum and siblings to be integral growing up - with the whole family getting behind and encouraging his love of baking, even when bullies might’ve seen fit to ridicule him. While his early life was far from smooth, and even saw the talented baker drop out of school, Sandro didn’t let it hold him back from achieving his dreams, as he pursed his passion later in life.
In a heartfelt throwback to his younger days, he even recently penned a short letter to himself on Instagram which read: “Dear little Sandro, Know that you are special, talented & one in a million. “Through all your struggles and pain you will come through on the other side, losing your dad will be hard and

‘Mexican Week’ on ‘Great British Baking Show’ Comes Under Fire for Stereotypes and Pronunciation Disasters
Pat Saperstein Deputy Editor Sombreros, serapes and maracas, horrible pronunciations, jokes about Mexican stand-offs, and really strange-looking tacos — did the “Mexican Week” episode of “The Great British Baking Show” leave any stereotypical stone unturned? After a similar debacle with Season 11’s “Japanese Week,” the internationally beloved competition series — which streams on Netflix in the U.S. — apparently decided not to learn from its mistakes, and dove headlong into Mexican food. And since the competition is largely to determine who can create the best baked goods, many observers wondered, why were they attempting tacos, anyway? Even before the episode dropped on Oct. 7, the promos featuring sombrero-wearing hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas came under fire from social media commenters — largely from the U.S., where finding a good taco is not as difficult as in the U.K. — who were quick to weigh in on the show’s utter failure to try to understand more than the most obvious characteristics of Mexican food and culture. Even the English-language plural of the word cactus eluded one of the contestants — not to mention the woman whose absolutely wretched try at guacamole sounded more like “glakeemolo.”
