Who is Live Well For Longer presenter Tamal Ray?

Tamal Ray is a doctor, presenter and runner-up of 2015's The Great British Bake Off.

The baker is 32-years-old and grew up in Hertfordshire and attended Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School before graduating with a BA in medicine from King's College London.

Tamal works as an anasthetist in a Manchester hospital where bakes brownies for his night shifts.

He learnt how to bake by his sister - who he would later bake her wedding cake for.

And starred in the sixth series of BBC's The Great British Bake Off where he became a runner-up.

He's been a regular columnist for The Guardian since his stint on Bake Off.

The star is teaming up with his former Be Your Own Doctor co-host Kate Quilton again for a new Channel 4 series.

They'll be fronting a new topical health show called Live Well For Longer.

Live Well For Longer is on Channel 4 at 8pm on Wednesday, 18th July
