Great British Bake Off winner Giuseppe Dell'Anno has announced that he will be acting as 'Paolo Holliwooddo' on the Italian version of the hit show. The episode is set to air tomorrow, September 30, and can be watched on a couple of channels.
Giuseppe, who is originally from Italy but now lives in Bristol, was crowned the champion of the British baking competition series in November 2021 after fending off fellow amateur bakers Crystelle Pereira and Chigs Parmar. The dad-of-three wowed the judges with his impressive tear and share showstopper, and reached a dramatic victory after coming last in the final technical challenge.
And now, Giuseppe will be stepping into the shoes of the judges, as he stars as a judge in the upcoming episode of Bake Off Italia alongside continental culinary and television stars Benedetta Parodi, Damiano Carrara, and Ernst Knam. Announcing the news on Twitter, Giuseppe told fans: "I’ll be playing Paolo Holliwooddo on #BakeOffItalia Italia tomorrow."
