Italian Carmel has been married for 22 years and has been passionate about baking since she was taught by her mother as a child.

Known to her friends as ‘crazy bunny lady” because of her love for her two pet rabbits, Koko and Ponchi, Carmel also collects anything to do with the animals and even has rabbits on her apron!

Fun, chatty and very helpful to the other contestants (they call her ‘Mama Carmel’), the mum-of-one loves to test her skills in the kitchen while retaining a sense of her Italian tradition.

The Great Australian Bake Off airs Thursdays at 8.30pm on LifeStyle.
