An Scottish baking enthusiast and entrepreneur will compete in a new Channel 4 series to try and get her creations sold in Aldi stores.
Gillian Ferguson, 37, runs small batch bakery Twisted Empire in Ayrshire. It is known for its unique spin on the classic Scottish Empire Biscuit, which have proved popular with locals.
The biscuits caught the attention of Aldi, which selected them amongst hundreds of applicants to take part in its new show. Aldi’s Next Big Thing is a six-part series that sees suppliers compete in categories such as dinners, baked goods, treats, and store cupboard essentials to win a place on Aldi shelves.
