Cheeky Janusz is already being tipped to be this year's Great British Bake Off winner - as research has revealed he fits the 'recipe for success' to take the crown. A study of the previous winners from the amateur baking competition by Jackpotjoy claims to calculate who is statistically the most likely to win.
According to the research, you've got a better chance of coming up trumps if you're aged around 30-35, live in the south of England, work in finance or technology and have a name starting with a letter in the first half of the alphabet. But the 'winning' formula doesn't stop there, as scooping Star Baker, being a memorable or 'cheeky' contestant as well as ironically having a baking disaster, also boosts your chances.
Janusz best fits the bill to be made the 13th Bake Off champion given the 34-year-old from East Sussex ticks five of the boxes for the 'winning formula'. This year's predicted winner Janusz is 34 is from East Sussex and has also won over fans with his colourful sense of humour as he talked Brighton gay clubs with presenter Matt Lucas.
The Personal Assistant to Head Teacher's culinary skills bowled over judges Prue and Paul in last week's episode with his 'Fruity Horchata' cake and he's also won Star Baker twice so far. Hitting four of the spots for the 'winning formula', 29-year-old Electronics Engineer Abdul from London is second likely to win.
Twenty-nine-year-old Architectural Assistant Maxy from London whose won Star Baker twice is ranked third likely to win. IT Manager Dawn, 60, from Bedfordshire ranks fourth, meeting three of the criteria, while 32-year-old Cardiovascular Research Associate Syabira from London is fifth.
