Evans-Fecci works at family-owned business Trade Canvas Print in Tenby, Wales, where her husband Ben Fecci is the managing director.
With the line-up of 13 contestants – a baker’s dozen – just revealed for Channel 4’s most popular show, Fecci told PrintWeek that Michelle was currently away working on promotional activities around the new series, which starts on 27 August.
“Michelle has always been a fan of the show and it’s so exciting that she’s now taking part in it,” he said.
“Every other day she will be bringing things she’s baked into work, which as you can imagine goes down a storm with the team here.”
Evans-Fecci tweeted that “dreams can come true” after the contestants were revealed today (20 August).

The Great British Bake Off can have a transformative effect on contestants, with some of the past winners and participants signing book deals and gaining magazine and newspaper columns as a result of their appearances.
