A self-taught baker, Chigs learned all his trades from watching online videos to learning complex baking techniques and chocolate making. However, he is a natural at what he does best. Who would have thought that what started as a hobby would pave the way for Chigs to become a reality TV star in British Baking Competition?
But that’s exactly what happened to Chirag. In an interview with LeicestershireLive, Chigs shared, “No, I never believed I would actually be on the show but was absolutely delighted to be chosen as a contestant – the hard part was keeping it a secret because I was so excited to be on the show.”
He will compete against 11 other contestants. The others who will join him are Amanda, a 56-year-old detective from London; Crystelle, 26, a customer relations manager from London; Freya, a 19-year-old psychology student from Scarborough; George, 34, from London; Giuseppe, a 45-year-old chief engineer from Bristol; Jairzeno, a 51-year-old finance director from London; Jurgen, from the Black Forest, Germany; Lizzie, a 28-year-old car manufacturing worker from Liverpool; Maggie, a 70-year-old retired nurse from Dorset; Rochica, a 27-year-old junior HR business partner from Birmingham; and Tom, a 28-year-old developer from Kent.
