Former Greenhill pupil and Winter Olympic bobsleigh medalist Bruce Tasker has swapped his sporting skills for cooking as he battles it out on this year’s Masterchef programme on BBC.

The show was back on TV screens Thursday night after BBC One pulled it from the schedule due to FA Cup coverage.

Like every year, the cooking show features the best amateur chefs who offer their unique take on a variety of recipes.

In episode 4, thirty-two-year-old Bruce from Lawrenny, who was born and grew-up in Manorbier qualified for the quarter-finals after impressing the show’s hosts and judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace with his signature dish.

Bruce became the first ever Welsh athlete to win a medal at the Winter Olympics after it was announced last year that Team GB’s four-man bobsleigh team from the Sochi 2014 Winter Games would be officially handed a bronze medal - after it emerged in December of 2017 that the two Russian crews that finished in front of Great Britain had been disqualified for doping offences.

At the beginning of 2018, Bruce suffered a stroke and later in that same year he retired from his athlete career.
