Great British Bake Off contestant Tamal Ray has revealed that he is single and looking for a boyfriend.

The 28-year-old has become a resident heartthrob on the BBC baking show and frequently received propositions from fans on Twitter.

When asked about his current relationship status the baking afficionado told Radio Times: "I wouldn't have a girlfriend, I would have a boyfriend. But I am single at the moment.

"Yes, I have had a few offers on Twitter!"

But it isn’t just viewers who are fans of his baking talents.

The trainee anaesthetist said that his Bake Off role has helped to ease the tension with patients preparing for surgery.

"It's a great icebreaker," he said. "In the morning I see my patients on that day's operating list, and talking about Bake Off helps with the tension a bit.

"I didn't think the consultants were particularly interested, but I made some muffins recently and they all went mad for them."

And staff at Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester where he works have taken advantage of his baking abilities and have asked him to channel Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood and judge a hospital Bake Off.

“At the end of my set of night shifts this week I've been asked to stay on during the day and judge a hospital Bake Off," he said. "It's the last thing I want to do, to be honest!”
