Dave Friday has welcomed a baby boy
Ahead of his first Bake Off appearance, Dave revealed: "My strengths are the ability to learn from mistakes, take criticism and use it to improve. "I am incredibly determined and see the positive in every situation. Weaknesses would be feeling overwhelmed when mess builds up and struggling with some baking jargon. And French words!"
Dave, who lives with Stacey in Hampshire, works as an Armoured Guard, and he bakes a least once a week. He confessed that he is a huge fan of GBBO presenter Noel Fielding and that "meeting Noel was a lifelong dream".
