Who is Briony Williams and what is her age?
The 33-year-old Bristolian writes about her bakes online under the name Briony May, and was inspired by her nan’s baking skills. She uses YouTube tutorials to help her pick up her tricky techniques.
Briony has taken baking seriously since 2013, and often makes decorated wedding cakes and novelty bakes.
Since appearing on Bake Off, viewers have praised the Channel 4 series for not focusing on what Briony has described her "little hand". Briony herself has described her left hand as a "birth defect" when asked by a fan:
No I don't have Poland's Syndrome, it was just a birth defect. Thanks so much! Flying the little hand flag ☺️
