James Patrick Bowie Morton (born 26 May 1991) is a Scottish doctor, baker, author and reality television contestant, based in Glasgow, who rose to fame when he became the runner up on the third series of The Great British Bake Off.
From then on, he studied baking as a science rather than a craft, often preferring to read peer-review cereal journals than cookbooks.
He watched The Great British Bake Off (Series 2) during 2011 and decided to apply after pressure from his university friends.
[4] He has been a guest celebrity on numerous television shows, including Sunday Brunch and Big Fat Quiz of the Year.
[16][17] Besides baking, Morton graduated from the University of Glasgow with a degree in medicine and began work as a junior doctor in the NHS.
