Besides baking, she is a Master’s student from Country Antrim. Rebs spent her childhood in the countryside in Northern Ireland and loves everything to do with Irish culture – she can Irish dance and play the tin whistle. Her earliest baking memory is of being a child, aged only three years old, helping her mum in the kitchen, and eating her granny’s renowned lemon meringue pies! More recently, she returned to baking as a way to unwind from the stress of a busy life in the tech world. Flavour is paramount for her, and she has more recently started to play around with Middle Eastern ingredients – in a nod to her boyfriend, Jack’s Turkish family heritage.
Rebs The Great British Bake Off 2022
When she was asked about her initial reaction when she learned she had got a place on the show, she said: “I never ever actually dreamed I would get into the tent! I grew up watching the show for years with my mum and, after only really taking up baking in 2020, I wasn’t sure I would have had what it takes to make it to the final 12 (but thankfully I did!).”
About her baking journey, she said: “When I was very small I used to help my mum in the kitchen when she was baking which, in reality, was more me just making a mess with flour and eating raw cake batter with a spoon. My grannies and aunts were all fabulous bakers and really inspired me as a child, however, many of them passed before they could show me their tips and tricks.”
She continued: “During the lockdown, I turned to baking to destress from the chaos of the world and found it the perfect way to constructively fill my time and make everyone around me equally happy! My boyfriend’s granny has been the one teaching me as, at 84 years old, she still baked dozens of scones, soda bread, and potato farls.”
Talking about her strengths and weaknesses as a baker, she said: “Personally, I think my strengths are my strong flavors as everything packs a big punch which is what I love. My weaknesses are definitely trying to bake everything on time and being the biggest messer you’ve ever seen.”
