Roles
Dezza: Supporting. Male. 25-45
A laid-back, vegan hipster in his 30s who lives on a canal boat. He brings a unique, eco- conscious approach to baking, often substituting traditional ingredients with plant-based alternatives, much to the confusion of the other contestants. Dezza is outspoken about environmental issues, and his character provides comic relief with his quirky personality and unconventional lifestyle. He isn’t afraid to speak his mind, which sometimes puts him at odds with the judges, especially when his bakes don’t always go according to plan.

He often talks about his husband, Mario, and his home life, bringing warmth to his otherwise logical demeanour.
