Who is Abdul from The Great British Bake Off 2022?

Abdul is an electronics engineer who was born in Saudi Arabia to Pakistani parents and now divides his time between London and Cambridge.

He is a self-confessed space nerd, and a keen salsa dancer, who began baking when he and his colleagues started bringing in home-cooked treats to share at work as a way to brighten up their coffee breaks.

Abdul loves using the precision he uses in his engineering in the chemistry involved in baking, and matcha is one of his favorite flavors.
