British Baker is thrilled to reveal that the celebrity host for the 2023 Baking Industry Awards is Ellie Taylor!
Ellie is a comedian, actress, writer, and presenter. She entered ITV’s comic talent contest Show Me The Funny with no prior experience of stand-up – finishing fourth with a great deal of acclaim and many new fans – and is now a regular on panel and stand-up shows.
TV appearances include 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Would I Lie To You, Guessable and Mock the Week. She has also hosted Live At The Apollo and series five of The Great British Pottery Throwdown, and was a contestant in the twentieth series of Strictly Come Dancing. Ellie was one of five UK comedians to be featured in Netflix’s trailblazing Comedians of the World series, with her stand-up special Cravings.
As part of the core cast of satirical shows The Mash Report and Late Night Mash, Ellie’s clips from the show have become worldwide viral hits, notching up over one hundred million views online, and being shared by a host of celebrities including Madonna. She can also be seen on the smash hit, multi-award winning Ted Lasso.
Ellie’s book My Child And Other Mistakes garnered rave reviews, and was a Sunday Times bestseller.
