Get ready for some seriously mouth-watering TV: the Great British Bake Off is back, as the show’s 13th season starts on Channel 4 next week.
The show will once again see Great British Bake Off contestants enter the tent, all hoping to prove their mettle when it comes to whipping up tasty treats. They’ll be hoping to impress Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood, both of whom are back as judges, while Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas watch over proceedings as hosts.
One of the new season’s line-up is Syabira, Cardiovascular Research Associate who loves gaming and it seems will be bringing a Malaysian flavour twist to some British classics.
Here’s everything you need to know about Syabira ahead of her Bake Off debut.

Age: 32
From: London
Job: Cardiovascular Research Associate
Syabira was born in Malaysia and is one of seven children. She moved to the UK in 2013 to study for her PhD and is now a Cardiovascular Research Associate in London.
Syabira lives with her boyfriend Bradley and loves gaming, often playing an online World-War-II simulation game which she said has taught her about leadership in the real world.
Syabira only started baking in 2017 and her bakes often give Malaysian flavour twists to British classics, such as chicken rendang Cornish pasties. She says she is “quick to learn and a resilient baker” and that her favourite cake is a red velvet cake, which is the first bake she ever made.
