Edd Kimber was a debt collector in Leeds when he first applied to BBC's The Great British Bake Off. The season 1 winner learned a lot from the show, telling the Radio Times that he was "incredibly shy" and had "very bad self-confidence" before the series. Today, Edd continues to do what makes him happy, which doesn't consist of debt collecting, but baking.
