She’s known for baking stunning cakes on Channel 4’s Great British Bake Off.
And now Manon LaGreve, 28, has a different type of bun in the oven as she announced her first child with her fiancé Luke Bennett on Sunday.
The French baker told Hello! magazine: ‘I grew up knowing I wanted to be a mum so I’m very happy and relaxed with being pregnant.’

And Manon revealed she’s keen to have a baby baker in the house to help her create culinary showstoppers.
‘The baby will be with me in the kitchen from the day it’s born,’ she said.
‘We are so happy to be having a summer baby and the due date is on Luke’s birthday – it feels like it’s meant to be,’ she gushed.

The former Great British Bake Off contestant also explained how much she wants to raise her child to be bilingual.
Manon said: ‘That is one of the best gifts we can give them, so we’re going to work hard at it,’
‘I’d like the baby to be French speaking at home and then use English outside the home,’ she explained.

Manon is planning to get married to her fiancé Luke next year in her hometown of Louvigné-De-Désert, Brittany, France.
Her boyfriend popped the question last November while the couple were on a romantic trip to Barbados.
The French baker confirmed at the time that her boyfriend had ‘dropped to one knee’ with a stunning sapphire ring shortly after they arrived at their boutique hotel during the Caribbean holiday.
Manon admitted it had not been a surprise, saying: ‘We’d been talking about getting married for a while. It was love at first sight…
‘We were boyfriend and girlfriend after two weeks and I moved in with him within four months. When you find the one, you just know.’
