“I would like to give my warmest thanks and gratitude to everyone at Love Productions and Channel 4 and to Noelipops, ポール, Dame Prue, the crew and, もちろん, the wonderful bakers for welcoming me into the tent.

“I wish whoever takes over the very best and I can’t wait to tune into the next series without already knowing who won!”
