The charismatic baker managed to pick up an impressive two Star Baker awards from Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith but when it came to Tuesday night's grand final, things did not go well for the star.

Eventually, he fell short and failed to bring home the title of Bake Off champ with Georgie going on to scoop the crown.

However, things appear to have turned out more than alright for Dylan after bagging a hugely impressive role.

Having always dreamt of being a professional chef, it was revealed that since filming, the star has landed a role working in a Michelin Star restaurant.
