Who won The Great British Bake Off last night? Fans praise 'genuine superstar' as Prue and Paul pick 2025 champion

The Channel 4 baking competition show drew to a close last night (November 4), with three remaining bakers aiming to impress judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood one last time.

In a finale extravaganza, the three finalists - Aaron, Jasmine, and Tom - were all tasked with three tricky challenges to see out their time in the Bake Off tent. For the signature bake, the talented bakers were instructed to create 12 iced finger buns, meanwhile a complex technical saw the trio attempting to make a tower of madeleines.

The finale showstopper was true to its name as Prue and Paul challenged the remaining baker with making some of the largest cakes that Bake Off has ever seen.

Heading into the final, Jasmine was in the strongest position. The Edinburgh medical student had scooped a record-matching five Star Baker wins throughout the series. However, this would not guarantee the title, as the former contestant she shares the record with (Richard Burr from series 5) was only able to manage a runner-up placing in his series. Aaron and Tom, who both has one Star Baker award each, were eager to give the last push to give Prue and Paul a difficult decision for the final.

Who won The Great British Bake Off last night?

The signature bake saw the bakers tasked with creating a tray of 12 iced finger buns, split into two batches of different flavours. Tom opted for a bit of an illusion as he attempted to disguise his pina colada-inspired finger buns as hot dogs, meanwhile Jasmine opted for apricot and strawberry flavours and Aaron went with pear and rhubarb.

Disaster struck in the signature for Tom, who made a huge gaffe after he mixed up citric acid and salt in his dough mixture. The judges raved over Jasmine’s creations, while Aaron’s flavours were praised (although his dough was described as being a bit tough).

The technical saw the bakers put through their paces as they were told to create a towers of 31 madeleines, flavoured with white chocolate and lemon curd. Aesthetics were important too in this challenge, with the bakers told to create an ombre-style effect on the tower.

Jasmine landed in last place after the judges deemed that her madeleines were underbaked and “a bit of a mess”. Aaron fell short of his goal of winning a technical challenge after landed in second place, meanwhile Tom took top spot for his effort.

The showstopper was true to its name in the final, as the bakers were instructed to construct a 1.2m-long table-top centrepiece cake - the largest of its kind in Bake Off history. Jasmine pulled back some of her dropped points in the technical, after Paul labelled her cake “absolutely beautiful”, meanwhile Aaron found his cake being called “rushed” and overbaked. Tom equalled Jasmine’s critique, with Prue describing his creation as “absolutely stunning - so it looked like it was between Tom and Jasmine for the win.

It was eventually revealed at the end-of-season garden party that Jasmine was the winner of The Great British Bake Off 2025!

Jasmine, who suffers from alopecia, said after her win: “I hope that in winning Bake Off I have made my friends, family and Scotland proud. I miss being in Scotland a lot, I grew up in Edinburgh and it’s a big part of my heritage. I feel like the more time I spend in London, the more I long to be in the Scottish Highlands!

“If I had told myself three years ago that I would be going about my life without wearing a wig, with no hair, I would have laughed and said, ‘don’t be ridiculous’. I could never have imagined being on the Bake Off, let alone doing it with no hair.”

Fans have praised the 2025 champion, after it was revealed that the 23-year-old had actually passed her medical exams at the same time as winning The Great British Bake Off.

ONe impressed viewers took to social media to say: “I cannot fathom how challenging it must’ve been for Jasmine to have completed her medical exams whilst competing in the bake-off. What a genuine superstar.”

Another added: “What an absolute superstar Jasmine is! Not only did she win this year's @BritishBakeOff but she also passed her medical exams at the same time. Pocket rocket baker indeed, as Aaron said.”

The University of St Andrews, where Jasmine studied for her degree, sent the student a message of congratulations, saying: “Congratulations to our alumna Jasmine Mitchell, medicine graduate star baker, and now Champion of the Great British Bake Off!”
