The wind whispers his name: "Norman."
Norman is universally loved by viewers because, as well as many other things, he once said this.

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 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
