Sandro Farmhouse was a runner-up in this year’s Great British Bake Off, but he was certainly a winner when it came to the nation’s hearts.
Now, the 30-year-old nanny and fitness fanatic has revealed how he has coped with his fame from the tent.
Sandro shared (via Metro): “I stay away from Twitter fans, because Twitter fans get a bit 18+. There’s definitely a difference between the Twitter fans and Instagram.
“The Instagram fans are more child-friendly and it’s nice. People I guess… I guess I’m a pretty person?”

Talented and modest, no wonder he’s such a hit.
He continued: “People really were complimenting what I look like, which is nice to know that people think you’re pretty-looking, so that’s nice. And to know that they also think that your personality is great too.
‘It’s sort of a win-win. I’m glad that the whole personality came through, because you don’t always want to be judged on what you look like. So I’m happy that there’s more to it. I have substance, guys!”

Jokes aside, Sandro explained: “Because I’m an optimistic and very positive person, sometimes it can come across as maybe very confident. I just love life, and I just take each day as it comes.”
And, the baker’s star has expanded across the globe: “The British fans are amazing, but the American fans are also equally amazing. They’ve been so supportive towards me. I’ve had fans from like Hollywood stars, A-list stars that I watch myself, that I’m a fan of, messaging me saying they’re a fan of me.
“And I’m like – I’m a fan of you! I won’t name names… but proper celebrities! I’m like wow, this is amazing.”
The Great British Bake Off airs on Channel 4 in the UK. In the US, it's known as The Great British Baking Show, and streams on Netflix. Bake Off: An Extra Slice, hosted by Tom Allen and Jo Brand, airs on Fridays at 8pm on Channel 4.
