The wind whispers his name: "Norman."

Norman is universally loved by viewers because, as well as many other things, he once said this.

Photo caption that came with image: "Pesto with wild garlic in a jar."

We last saw Norman at the end of Series Five, where we found out that he was writing an autobiography.

Love Productions / BBC

Well Norman has since published his book, which is available on Amazon for a simply ridiculous 99p.

At the end of every single chapter there is a recipe, which is such a good idea.

And look at Norman's lovely face there.

Chetna from Series Five will also be returning for the Bake Off Christmas Special (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Howard is loved for being really bloody lovely, and also for his part in the dramatic Sue Elbow Muffin Scandal of 2013.
