The ovens are barely warmed, but bookmakers are already taking bets on who will be crowned the GBBO winner of 2018. Betway has installed Ruby as the favourite to win, with odds of 9/2.
The 29-year-old project manager from London is ahead of 30-year-old research scientist Rahul at 5/1. Manon, a 26-year-old software project manager who was born in France, is in third place.
