00:00And we have a winner here to celebrate the 2025 Bake Off final.
00:06Superfans John Richardson and Oti Mabusi, plus Her Majesty Dame Proulix.
00:16And we're joined by all of this year's bakers, including, of course,
00:20our magnificent runners-up, Aaron and Tov.
00:30And this year's incredible winner, Jasmine.
01:00CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
01:03Hello and welcome.
01:05I'm delighted to say we're joined by the class of 25.
01:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
01:11Toy Man, Jessica and Natalia are here.
01:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
01:17And there's Toby, Hassan and Ian.
01:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
01:22And exciting news. Judging by this shot, Leighton, Nadia and Lesley
01:27have been auditioning to be the new faces of Matalane's spring catalogue.
01:31CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
01:37I've judged this show for nine years now.
01:40Wow.
01:41And this has been the nicest bunch of bakers we've had.
01:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
01:50What's been your highlight of this year's competition, John?
01:52It's good to be good at baking, obviously,
01:54but it's a sign you've got too much time on your hands, let's be honest.
01:57LAUGHTER
01:58No!
01:59I think truly competent, busy people with good lives
02:02come in week one, make a Swiss roll, slop it into a bowl
02:06and go home again.
02:07LAUGHTER
02:08Hassan is my star.
02:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
02:16I mean, I think I love the whole thing.
02:18I've never ever known what a long table cake was,
02:22and I was like, who can eat so much cake?
02:24Me.
02:25LAUGHTER
02:26So that was really exciting,
02:27but I think their personality is also shown through
02:29and it was really special.
02:30It just felt very personal as well.
02:31The table cake definitely smacked
02:33of a sort of end of the day after a few drinks.
02:35LAUGHTER
02:36We haven't got anything for the final.
02:37What if it was just massive?
02:39And the alarm.
02:40There is a bit of that, you know.
02:42It's been going for 15 years,
02:44to have to keep thinking of different things is quite amazing.
02:47I'd like to see that table cake standing up the other way.
02:51LAUGHTER
02:52There were a couple of moments when I wasn't sure
02:55whether I was watching Bake Off the Final
02:57or Bake Off the Musical.
02:59I'm doing American Buttercream.
03:01American Buttercream!
03:03LAUGHTER
03:04Half an hour to impress.
03:06I'm going to catch you.
03:07American Buttercream!
03:09LAUGHTER
03:11LAUGHTER
03:12Aaron's certainly got more chance of making it as a singer
03:17than he has as a wildlife expert.
03:20This is a unique competition
03:22in that I think most of the competitors
03:24would be as happy for someone else.
03:26Is that a wolf? Sorry.
03:27LAUGHTER
03:28Oh, God.
03:29What was that?
03:30It was massive?
03:31LAUGHTER
03:32I love those bits of film of the bakers' families.
03:37I was mesmerised by the number of bottles
03:39Tom's parents had managed to cram onto the drink shelf.
03:43That's even more than Prue's got in her dressing room.
03:46LAUGHTER
03:47No, it's not.
03:48Is it not?
03:49It's not, apparently.
03:51Have you got loads of drinks stacked up at home?
03:54Er, yeah, yeah, a fair few.
03:56Is this therapy?
03:57LAUGHTER
03:58Is that all right?
03:59There was a lot of crying, wasn't there, in the final?
04:01I expected the final to be a bit more,
04:03haven't we all done well?
04:04But it was a bit more...
04:05I cried at the end.
04:08Yeah.
04:09No.
04:10LAUGHTER
04:12Going into the final,
04:13Jasmine was summoning up all her reserves of energy
04:16for this one last push.
04:17Yeah, I feel like I need to just pull out all the energy
04:20I've got left in my...
04:22from my toes.
04:23Out.
04:24That was not English.
04:25I'm so sorry.
04:27LAUGHTER
04:28That's so sweet.
04:29Well, let's part the tent flaps one last time
04:31and remind ourselves...
04:33LAUGHTER
04:39LAUGHTER
04:40And remind ourselves what happened
04:42in the thrilling Great British Bake Off final.
04:45IN THE BEGINNING, THERE WERE TWELVE.
04:48IN THE BEGINNING, THERE WERE TWELVE.
05:01AND THEN THERE WERE THREE.
05:03IT'S SO EMPTY.
05:04IN THE BEGINNING, THERE WERE TWELVE.
05:06Aaron, Tom and Jasmine started with an iced finger bun signature.
05:12And Tom made a fatal error.
05:14I put citric acid instead of salt into the dough.
05:18The flavour isn't that beautiful.
05:19I'm really struggling with that bread.
05:21The technical was a Madeleine Tower, whoever she is.
05:25And this time Tom triumphed.
05:28Jasmine came last.
05:30The second spot we had.
05:31And Aaron was left disappointed.
05:33I can't believe I've never once got a first in tatnacot.
05:36In the incredibly stressful table cake showstopper...
05:39Oh, God.
05:41I've broken the bowl.
05:42Aaron's apricot let him down.
05:44The apricot is just not strong enough.
05:47While Tom gave Jasmine a good run for her money.
05:50You have the style.
05:52And finally you have the substance as well.
05:54Ugh.
05:55But after ten weeks of brilliant bakes...
05:58Oh, my God.
05:59...the 2025 Great British Bake Off crown went to...
06:03Jasmine!
06:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
06:15Jasmine's had a brilliant competition.
06:17Is she the best baker we've ever seen in the tent?
06:20She could be.
06:21I really think she is extraordinary.
06:23But what she has more than anybody else,
06:25and has had all the way through,
06:27is the right attitude.
06:29You know, she loves it.
06:30She enjoys it.
06:31And she doesn't panic.
06:33She's really calm.
06:34Knows what she's doing.
06:36And she's got the right spirit.
06:38And she's a damn good baker.
06:40Sounds like she'd be an amazing doctor as well.
06:42What a shame she...
06:43LAUGHTER
06:44What a shame she'll now be leaving the profession to bake cake.
06:46Yeah.
06:47Back to the signature ice buns.
06:49Here's Jasmine adding her apricot icing to the buns,
06:52using her fingers.
06:54I tried every implement at home,
06:56and it was the one that worked best.
06:58Hmm.
06:59LAUGHTER
07:00The problem with Jasmine being a medical student
07:02is that you worry where those fingers are.
07:05LAUGHTER
07:06APPLAUSE
07:08Would that put your feet in there?
07:12Yes.
07:13LAUGHTER
07:14Yes, it would!
07:15Because I think sometimes it's good we don't actually see
07:17how food is made, right?
07:18Because if I see fingers everywhere in my food,
07:20I wouldn't be touching it.
07:22But it looks delicious.
07:24As far as the final technical is concerned,
07:26you seemed a bit over it, Prue.
07:28It's going to be interesting to see how our bakers deal with this.
07:31Get this right, this could win him the bake-off.
07:33LAUGHTER
07:34APPLAUSE
07:35This is Aaron's last chance to win a technical, but he came second.
07:48Now, John, as a fellow perfectionist,
07:50have you got any comforting words to offer him?
07:53It's good to be a perfectionist.
07:54It means you're striving for the best,
07:56but you just have to accept you'll never be happy.
07:58LAUGHTER
08:00I'm sure he's taking that on board.
08:02Are you a perfectionist about dancing, Oti?
08:05About dancing, very much.
08:07It has to be the perfect one.
08:09Like you say, I'm just miserable all the time.
08:12LAUGHTER
08:13Never ever happy.
08:14But it's true.
08:15You want to do the best every time.
08:16I have to confess to not being a perfectionist.
08:19I don't think life's worth being so obsessed about perfection.
08:23I think we should just get on with it and enjoy it.
08:25If I mess something up,
08:27I would never throw it away and start again.
08:29I'd just eat it anyway.
08:31LAUGHTER
08:32Absolutely.
08:34APPLAUSE
08:36For their final showstopper,
08:38the bakers had to produce a table cake
08:41that was over a metre long.
08:43Which of the three table cakes was your favourite?
08:46Jasmine's, I thought it was creative
08:48and it had a lot of heart in it.
08:50I thought Tom's looked amazing.
08:52It all looked edible, the grass and everything.
08:54It looked like the Willy Wonka thing.
08:56When they walk in, you can eat anything.
08:57And it was wonderfully colourful.
08:59Yeah.
09:00Yeah.
09:01Yes, I think Tom's looked the best
09:02and Jasmine's tasted the best.
09:03The pictures looked so sad of you all,
09:05but it looked like you were at a wedding
09:07and no-one's turned off.
09:08LAUGHTER
09:09My favourite was when Tom's showstopper rendered Prue speechless.
09:14There's an awful lot of shots of me just chewing.
09:15LAUGHTER
09:16They're my favourites.
09:17They're my favourites.
09:18Yeah, they are.
09:19It's time to welcome this year's fantastic running
09:38There's a lot of shots of me just chewing.
09:42They're my favourites.
09:44They're they are.
09:45It's time to welcome this year's fantastic runners-up.
09:49It's the amazing Aaron and the tremendous Tom.
09:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
10:03Massive congratulations, you two.
10:05Thank you so much. How does it feel?
10:07It's been a relief to be over, to be honest.
10:10But also kind of bittersweet.
10:12Like, it's been great. It's been amazing.
10:14Yeah, yeah, I would say so.
10:15I'd say week nine was my most terrifying moment.
10:17Once everyone saw me cry on TV five times,
10:20I think it's definitely downhill after that, so, no.
10:22Everyone was so happy and cheery.
10:23And that's so what it felt like the entire time we were there.
10:25That was after your massive beehive, was it?
10:28Some have called it massive, some have called it grotesque.
10:31I may agree with some of those comments.
10:34But, yes, that was after Beehivegate.
10:36Yeah.
10:38Can I ask a personal question, as a knitwear aficionado?
10:42As a handsome and younger man, is this a thing now,
10:44cardigans without T-shirts and shirts underneath?
10:46Because some of us can't carry that off.
10:49LAUGHTER
10:51And if it wasn't, it is now.
11:00Yeah, it's trying to set a trend and it's trendy.
11:03Well, you may have a very classy, nice view cardigan.
11:05Thank you very much.
11:07John, what did you say?
11:09I said I'd have very itchy breasts.
11:10LAUGHTER
11:12I can hear that correctly.
11:14Well, Aaron, let's just have a quick look at the start
11:17of your final signature.
11:19What about the timing of everything?
11:20Because obviously it's going to be critical today.
11:22I haven't been able to do the whole thing in time.
11:25Um...
11:26Great.
11:27LAUGHTER
11:29But there was a reason why you hadn't finished in the time
11:32when you were practising.
11:34See, I blame Jasmine.
11:35LAUGHTER
11:36Because during the macaron week, she had a fan that she used
11:40to dry her macarons faster.
11:42So I thought, oh, fantastic idea, be more Jasmine.
11:45Get a fan and I can cool my bread faster.
11:48So I ran into the bedroom to get a fan and as I did,
11:51I pulled the fan and pulled the door into my foot.
11:55And I was like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
11:59And I broke my toe, but...
12:01Exciting for your neighbours, though.
12:02LAUGHTER
12:04If they had that coming from your bedroom,
12:05they don't think you've broken your toe, have they?
12:07LAUGHTER
12:08OK.
12:09Tom, you had some of the bakers to stay with you in Dorset.
12:12Yes.
12:13What did you all get up to?
12:14Er...
12:16We locked Toby in a cupboard.
12:17LAUGHTER
12:19I can't remember much else.
12:20LAUGHTER
12:22You might be interested to know that a certain somebody
12:25was saying things about you and you're back.
12:27I hate to break up a beautiful friendship,
12:29but I found this bit of unseen footage.
12:31You said Tom was a softie.
12:33Tom is.
12:34Is he?
12:35Softie.
12:36Diva.
12:37And a diva.
12:38When we go for dinner, he's like, can I have a tonic water
12:40and can I have six wedges of lime and can you squeeze them
12:42and put them in, please?
12:43Every time.
12:44And you better not forget, or someone's getting fired.
12:47That's how he's like.
12:48That's Tom.
12:49That's Tom, everyone.
12:50That's Tom in a nutshell.
12:51That's the real Tom.
12:52LAUGHTER
12:53It's true.
12:54Yeah.
12:55APPLAUSE
12:56Well, I didn't believe for a second that you're a diva,
12:58but then I remembered this.
13:00Tiny step to your left.
13:01Can we turn the wind around?
13:02Turn the wind around?
13:03LAUGHTER
13:04I've done that every week and they refused.
13:05I'm ready to face the wind, come on.
13:06LAUGHTER
13:07Panel, who do you think is the biggest diva out of you three?
13:08I'd quite like to be a diva.
13:09Would you?
13:10You get your own way.
13:11I'm a fiancé diva.
13:12You know what I mean?
13:13You're the queen.
13:14You are her.
13:15You did call me the queen.
13:16You are a queen.
13:17John, are you a diva?
13:18I don't think so.
13:19But if you're going to be the queen, I hear there's a vacancy for a prince.
13:20So...
13:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
13:22Thanks, guys.
13:23After the break, Tom and Aaron will be divulging more secrets
13:24from their time in the tent back in a bit.
13:25APPLAUSE
13:26I'd like to be a diva.
13:27I'd like to be a diva.
13:28Would you?
13:29You'd get your own way, didn't you?
13:30I'm a fiancé diva.
13:31Do you know what I mean?
13:32You're the queen.
13:33You are her.
13:34You did call me the queen.
13:35You are her queen.
13:36John, are you a diva?
13:37I don't think so.
13:38But if you're going to be the queen, I hear there's a vacancy for a prince.
13:39So...
13:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
13:43Thanks, guys.
13:45After the break, Tom and Aaron will be divulging more secrets
13:48from their time in the tent back in a bit.
13:51APPLAUSE
14:03Welcome back.
14:04We're celebrating the Great British Bake Off final
14:07alongside Oti Mabuse, John Richardson and Dane Prew.
14:11And runners-up, Aaron and Tom are with us.
14:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
14:17You've got handshakes from Paul in Biscuit Week and Chocolate Week.
14:20Yeah.
14:21But then you two did seem to hit a bit of a rocky patch.
14:25How did it feel from your side?
14:29That's a great question.
14:31LAUGHTER
14:33I would say I definitely picked up in week eight.
14:37The comments suddenly did seem to take a bit of a different turn.
14:40I think he had a bit of, God dare I say, post-coital clarity,
14:44around week six, where...
14:46LAUGHTER
14:47It's like he loved the idea of me and then he had a bit too much
14:49of me and realised I don't need anymore.
14:51LAUGHTER
14:52Now, Tom, I think it's fair to say you weren't the tidiest baker
15:02in the tent.
15:03Fair.
15:04Yeah.
15:05Well, here's a picture of what your kitchen at home looked like
15:07during practice.
15:09That is pre the beehive, which is the worst it ever got.
15:12Not the tidiest.
15:13Thank God I have a boyfriend who does some of the cleaning.
15:15LAUGHTER
15:16Georgie says a round of applause.
15:18LAUGHTER
15:23So you both did tiramisu coffee cups, didn't you?
15:26The same way?
15:27Yes.
15:28Somebody copied somebody, that's all I'm saying.
15:30It's just the water in East London and...
15:32And the gay.
15:34The gays, yeah.
15:35LAUGHTER
15:37Coffee cups.
15:38Perfect.
15:39Now, we found an exclusive clip where Tom was initially quite
15:44generous when comparing your takeaway cups to his own.
15:48And I don't know if you want to notice, Aaron had some very
15:50similar-looking coffee cups out there.
15:52But better, because he remembered that coffee cups don't have
15:55cardboard lids, so...
15:57Although, actually, some do now.
15:59Mine are the more sustainable option, that are cardboard through
16:01and through.
16:02He's gone for single-use plastic lids.
16:04Tuck, tuck.
16:06LAUGHTER
16:07So it went from positive to negative very quickly.
16:09Yeah.
16:10Yeah.
16:11I remember, it's a competition.
16:12LAUGHTER
16:13Aaron, your flavours were always adventurous
16:16and made for some memorable bakes, like your Flowers in Paradise
16:20sweetbread or Earl Grey flapjacks.
16:23And your piano chocolate fondue, which won you the coveted Starbaker
16:28in Chocolate Week.
16:29Was that your proudest moment?
16:31Yeah, all three of those, I think, were.
16:34The sweetbread, because it was in memory of my friends,
16:37and so it was quite important for me to do.
16:41As for the chocolate piano, I was just...
16:43I just really wanted to show what I could do with chocolate.
16:46And I was so shocked when I got...
16:49Well, you saw how shocked I was when I got to Starbaker,
16:51because I thought it was either going to go to you or Jasmine.
16:54Yeah, it was incredible.
16:55And also, in the room, it was miles away from anyone else's, I think.
16:59It was so incredible and so detailed.
17:01And, like, the curve of the chocolate, like, yeah.
17:04Like, it was untouchable.
17:05APPLAUSE
17:07And, Tom, your incredible bakes were inspired by your globe-trotting
17:16background, like your tartan Swiss roll, Icelandic landscape cake
17:21and your Hong Kong-inspired sausage plait.
17:24Yes.
17:25Which of those was your favourite?
17:27The landscape cake, I want to say.
17:30I was quite an inexperienced baker.
17:32And so, when I presented that showstopper and went well
17:34and Paul made that comment about it being a Tom bake,
17:37not that I had any idea what that meant,
17:39that was maybe the first moment,
17:41especially having come last in the technical,
17:43where I suddenly thought,
17:44oh, maybe there's something good here.
17:46Who knows?
17:47So, that one was super special, for sure.
17:49Yeah. It was delicious.
17:50It was...
17:51Even now, I still remember the taste of it.
17:52It was my favourite one from that week.
17:54I was so jealous.
17:55LAUGHTER
17:56OK, well, let's have some questions from the audience now.
17:59It's over to our other Tom.
18:02Hello!
18:03Hi, Joe.
18:04Thank you so much.
18:05And I'm sure our audience today have got lots of questions
18:08for Aaron and Tom.
18:09Who would like to kick things off?
18:12Thank goodness somebody put their hand up.
18:14LAUGHTER
18:15Yes, sir, stand up, what's your name?
18:17My name's Stuart.
18:18Stuart, lovely to see you.
18:19What's your question?
18:20I just want to say congratulations on getting to the final,
18:23to both of you.
18:24Fantastic.
18:25APPLAUSE
18:27And my question is, if you were able to bake for any celebrity
18:31in the world, who would you bake for and what would you bake?
18:34Ooh!
18:35Great question, Stuart.
18:38I know mine, hands down.
18:39It's Reese Witherspoon.
18:40Mm.
18:41For the Legally Blonde 3 premiere.
18:44Wow.
18:45So, if anyone knows her or can start seeding her...
18:47LAUGHTER
18:48I've got a tattoo for her.
18:50I'm a bit of a creepy fan, so...
18:52Mm.
18:53Maybe we stop there.
18:54That was a weird answer, wasn't it?
18:55Yes.
18:56LAUGHTER
18:57How about Aaron?
18:58Aaron, yeah.
18:59Say something older.
19:00LAUGHTER
19:01I always...
19:02I don't know, something about Cate Blanchett.
19:04I just love Cate Blanchett.
19:05Cate Blanchett.
19:06Yeah.
19:07Yeah, I just feel like Cate Blanchett would love a cheesecake,
19:09so maybe Cheesecake Blanchett.
19:10Yeah.
19:11Yeah?
19:12Better one.
19:13Great, great.
19:14You bother?
19:15APPLAUSE
19:16Who's got another question?
19:20Another question down the front here.
19:22Hello.
19:23Hello, Madam.
19:24Stand up, stand up, stand up.
19:25What's your name?
19:26Izzy.
19:27Izzy, lovely to see you.
19:28Izzy, and what's your question?
19:29My question is, what tips would you give to a person
19:32that would apply for Bake Off in the future?
19:34Good one.
19:35What was the thing that, kind of, you think finally got you in?
19:38Oh!
19:39Oh!
19:40What is it, Don?
19:41What is it, Aaron?
19:42So I think you shouldn't really think about what gets you in.
19:46You should just bake what you love and be yourself.
19:51And that's what people want to see when they watch Bake Off.
19:55In my application, I tried to fit an entire Christmas dinner
19:59inside a Wellington, like a beef Wellington.
20:02And I got to about, like, eight layers
20:04and realised I needed to do a second one to finish it.
20:07And I think, in submitting that, maybe they saw
20:09that they were going to get some real car crash moments,
20:11like the beehive.
20:12LAUGHTER
20:13I think that may have helped me, but otherwise,
20:15everything Aaron said, for sure.
20:16Tom, I don't really understand what you're talking about,
20:18because you said you filled in an application by making
20:22a Christmas dinner into a pastry.
20:24Yes.
20:25Why didn't you just fill in the form like everybody else?
20:27LAUGHTER
20:28Strange, isn't it?
20:30Thanks, Izzy.
20:31Back to you, Jo. Thank you.
20:33APPLAUSE
20:38Well, Tom and Aaron, we've absolutely loved watching you in the tent.
20:43Massive congratulations, again, for making it all the way to the final.
20:47And I believe that Tom and John are on their way with the trolleys.
20:52APPLAUSE
20:53Oh, thank you, John. Thank you. Perfectly done.
21:04Um, now, OK, well, let's start with you, Aaron, shall we?
21:08What was the best thing about being on Bake Off?
21:11One was Noel referring to Paul as meringue tits.
21:15LAUGHTER
21:16It literally sent me to tears.
21:18And the other one was Prue's sculpted tart dance.
21:22Oh, yeah, that was brilliant.
21:25APPLAUSE
21:28Well, look at us, just three alpha gays...
21:34..here on a baking show.
21:35Who would have thunk it?
21:37It must be a television first, I think.
21:39I know you didn't get a handshake, but, you know what?
21:42Get over it.
21:43Because I hear it's not that great an experience.
21:47He doesn't even use hand cream.
21:48No.
21:49Oh, yeah.
21:50It's like wringing out a Brillo pad.
21:52LAUGHTER
21:53It's not about winning, it's about the fact that you were better
21:57than the nine other bakers who didn't make it to the final.
22:00LAUGHTER
22:01And I think that's...
22:02APPLAUSE
22:04Oh!
22:05APPLAUSE
22:07I'm sorry I didn't see you there, sorry.
22:09Oh, how embarrassing.
22:11Anyway, Aaron, always remember that.
22:13And please keep believing in yourself,
22:15because we all think you're absolutely brilliant.
22:18So thank you very much.
22:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
22:26Thank you, Tom.
22:27OK, Aaron, let's enjoy a look back at your time in the tent.
22:31It is wild to be here at the competition.
22:34Whoo!
22:35So my best work has been done in my pants.
22:37Keep me, that bit.
22:39LAUGHTER
22:40That's delicious.
22:41I mean, I do love a jiggle.
22:42Yeah!
22:43Yeah!
22:44I think that's pretty faultless.
22:45Yes, Aaron.
22:46What a great tribute.
22:49I love you some chocolate.
22:51Star Baker this week.
22:53Whilst doing the jig and singing a song.
22:54Aaron.
22:55Oh, my God!
22:56Yeah!
22:57I'm just so happy.
22:58I'm just basking in this moment,
23:00knowing that very few people will ever experience this.
23:03I get to be one of them.
23:05LAUGHTER
23:06CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
23:08Oh, he's a little tired of having her.
23:11LAUGHTER
23:12Get me off.
23:14OK, and time for the grand unveiling.
23:17Ooh!
23:21Oh!
23:23Wow!
23:24So there you are, Aaron, holding your coffee mousse cup
23:28with your beautiful sweet bread and amazing piano fondue.
23:32Well done.
23:33Oh, thank you.
23:34APPLAUSE
23:36I won't make time again.
23:37LAUGHTER
23:38Now, oh, Tom, it's over to you now.
23:41Tell us, tell us, what was your Bake Off highlight?
23:45Honestly, ten weeks of eating, nothing but sugar and delicious food,
23:49I'm going to say.
23:50Mmm.
23:51The crash must be coming any time now.
23:53I would actually...
23:54It's that and the crying, I would say.
23:56Oh!
23:57I didn't cry for ten years and crying that much feels good,
23:59I would say, so, yeah.
24:00Oh!
24:01That's good advice.
24:02Let it out.
24:03As you say, it probably was a result of eating so much sugar
24:04that you were then crying.
24:05Just a constant rollercoaster.
24:06Seriously, the diabetes, yeah.
24:07Of course, Tom, you are the most alpha of us alpha gays.
24:12And you had us all in tears last week, he did, didn't he?
24:16That 400-kilogram chocolate beehive that Paul hated.
24:22And...
24:24No.
24:25I'll tell you who didn't hate it, Tom.
24:26Bourneville.
24:27Oh!
24:28Those...
24:29Those...
24:30Those...
24:31Those chocolate suppliers.
24:34Oh!
24:35They...
24:36They shut up shop and sent their workers on a cruise when they
24:41got your order through.
24:43In another first, you got Prue to say that the rum was too
24:47dominant in your iced fingers.
24:49I mean, how much rum was there?
24:51Prue loves rum.
24:52I've seen her drink a pirate under the table.
24:55But in all seriousness, you've been a fantastic baker and we
24:59wish you all the best with whatever you do next, which will
25:02no doubt be perfect as well as everything else you've done.
25:06OK, so well done, Tom.
25:07Thank you very much.
25:14Thanks for that.
25:15And now let's enjoy a look back at your time on Bake Off.
25:18Finally being here, it's like now all we have to do is bake.
25:22The flavours are great.
25:23Punchy, strong.
25:24I think it's delicious.
25:25Very light.
25:26So the whole thing together, it is exceptional.
25:28Well done.
25:29Stop it.
25:30This hand is for sale.
25:31Which means, Tom.
25:33Every week I have some sort of baking related nightmare.
25:35Oh, my God.
25:36Tom, congratulations.
25:38Slick as anything.
25:40The overall look I think is amazing.
25:41I love that.
25:42I could eat a lot of it.
25:43Can we turn the wind around?
25:44Pretty much you're untouchable in everything you've done.
25:46Oh, stop it.
25:48This week, star baker.
25:50T to the O to the M.
25:51Yes, Tom.
25:52Yes!
25:53I couldn't be more proud of myself for standing here in the final
25:56to live a life highlight like this with your friends and
25:59family around you.
26:00I don't think it gets any better.
26:02APPLAUSE
26:11So, Tom, will you please reveal all?
26:13Thank you, James.
26:14Thank you, James.
26:17Yay!
26:18APPLAUSE
26:19So, Tom, there you are with your handshake-worthy biscuit cottage,
26:25along with your four-in-a-row tart and magnificent mushroom
26:29vacheran glacé, Aaron and Tom, everybody.
26:32APPLAUSE
26:42Thanks, Tom.
26:43And after the break, the winner of Bake Off 2025, Jasmine,
26:47will be here.
26:48See you in a bit.
26:49APPLAUSE
26:50Welcome back.
26:51I'm reliving all the action from the Bake Off final with Oti Mbuse,
27:05John Richardson and Bake Off judge Prue Leith.
27:08And now, will you please welcome the champion of the Great British Bake Off
27:132025?
27:14It's Jasmine, everybody.
27:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
27:16APPLAUSE
27:30Firstly, Jasmine, a huge congratulations on being this year's winner.
27:35Now, your Bake Off stats are incredible.
27:38Oti, let's hear them.
27:40Winner of five technical challenges, two Hollywood handshakes
27:44and you're a record-breaker.
27:46Starbaker five times and Bake Off champion!
27:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
27:56Now, I'm sure you've been asked this quite a few times,
27:59but how does that feel?
28:01I don't really know how it feels.
28:03Honestly, my dream was just to get on the show,
28:05so I was there in week one.
28:07And my aim was just kind of to survive to week two.
28:09So, getting into the final, let alone winning,
28:11is just unbelievable for me.
28:14But not only did you do that, but you were doing also
28:16your medical exams.
28:18That is crazy.
28:19How did you get all of that done?
28:21Oh, my goodness.
28:22I basically became a social hermit for three months.
28:24LAUGHTER
28:25I kind of disappeared.
28:26I prayed a lot.
28:27And also, my two flatmates and my boyfriend
28:30basically did a lot of washing up.
28:32Yeah.
28:33All of the time.
28:34While I was preparing for Bake Off,
28:36I was in the middle of surgery.
28:38So, it was kind of a weird thing of kind of going from,
28:40like, chopping up nuts and then I'd be in surgery
28:42the next day and it was kind of...
28:44LAUGHTER
28:46Chopping up nuts again.
28:47Yeah, yeah.
28:48Chopping nuts again.
28:49APPLAUSE
28:51Where are you in your medical studies?
28:58I'm in my fifth year of six.
29:00Right.
29:01So, yeah, it just kind of keeps going.
29:03I hope you do keep going.
29:04I definitely will.
29:05I feel like I can't do just baking or just medicine.
29:08No, no.
29:09I think you can't let such a strong string to your bow go
29:12just because you're a great baker.
29:14Got to do both.
29:15And I love it so much.
29:16Yeah.
29:17Now, here's an unseen moment of you in Pastry Week.
29:20Jasmine, tell us all about your tart sculpture, please.
29:23So, um, it's a tree.
29:26LAUGHTER
29:28Sorry.
29:29No.
29:30I know.
29:31You can see why you're going to be a doctor.
29:34LAUGHTER
29:36Have you got your exam results?
29:39I have.
29:40I passed all of them.
29:42First time.
29:43CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
29:45Your family must be so proud.
29:49I mean, despite the claim you made this week.
29:52Cos I'm, like, middle child, I just get forgotten about it.
29:55That surely won't be the case.
29:57Over to your mum.
29:58As the second child, you know, she was often ignored.
30:01LAUGHTER
30:03You've created so many incredible winning bakes.
30:11We really need an extended edition of the show.
30:14Let's talk about them all.
30:15Your tiered sweet bread, incredible pastry tart and delicious trifle.
30:19I mean, even the weeks you didn't win Starbaker,
30:22your bakes still look perfect.
30:24Paul, at some point, gave you a weird left-handed handshake.
30:28What did you think about that?
30:29The first ever won in Bake Off history.
30:31Yeah.
30:32I mean, I haven't watched it since.
30:34LAUGHTER
30:35Don't say that as a dog.
30:37Don't say that as a dog, girl.
30:39Don't say that as a dog, girl.
30:40Don't say that as a dog on television.
30:41LAUGHTER
30:42Let's have some questions from the audience.
30:44Over to you, Tom.
30:45Hello, hello.
30:46What's your name?
30:47Jan.
30:48Jan, nice to see you.
30:49Jan?
30:50Jan, do you have a question for Jasmine?
30:51Yeah.
30:52Did you bake a birthday cake for a family member?
30:54Oh, excellent.
30:55And how was it?
30:56I feel like I end up always being the person
30:58to end up making the birthday cakes.
31:00I mean, you'll have to ask them.
31:01They're literally right there.
31:02LAUGHTER
31:03What is Jasmine's family?
31:05Oh, hello, everybody.
31:07Hi.
31:08I suppose I should go and ask you.
31:09Just Jas...
31:10Sorry, Jan, but...
31:11LAUGHTER
31:12Hello, Jasmine's family.
31:15All along here?
31:16Are you Jasmine's family?
31:17Oh...
31:18No.
31:19No, you've just sat with Jasmine's family.
31:20Yes.
31:21Oh, that must be awkward for you.
31:22Yes.
31:23Hello.
31:24Sorry, get out of the way, then.
31:26From Jasmine's family.
31:27Hi, everyone.
31:28Hi.
31:29Hi.
31:30Hi.
31:31Hi.
31:32Jasmine cooked a delicious birthday cake for me.
31:34I still remember it.
31:35It was scrumptious.
31:37Oh...
31:38You...
31:39Who are you?
31:40LAUGHTER
31:41I'm Jasmine's dad.
31:43Oh...
31:44And who are you?
31:45Oh, I'm Jasmine's sister.
31:46Oh, I thought you might be.
31:47Ah, I thought you might be.
31:49What do you do?
31:50Uh, I, um, university.
31:52Yes, what do you study?
31:53Engineering.
31:54Engineering!
31:55Wow!
31:56Not quite a doctor, but...
31:58LAUGHTER
32:01And where's Jasmine's boyfriend that had to do all the washing up?
32:05Oh, oh, hello, hello there, sir, hello.
32:07So, crucially, not family.
32:09LAUGHTER
32:13So, you do a lot of the washing up?
32:15Yeah, um...
32:16Do I say it?
32:17LAUGHTER
32:18There's this thing called a scrub daddy.
32:20LAUGHTER
32:21Which is basically...
32:22Come on, that's what we call Paul Hollywood.
32:24LAUGHTER
32:25When I was first getting to know Jasmine's family,
32:28they all started calling me scrub daddy,
32:30because I was the guy who was just washing everything up.
32:32LAUGHTER
32:33Yeah, you weren't meant to say that.
32:35LAUGHTER
32:36And so...
32:37Well, that was lovely to get that little insight.
32:39Thank you, scrub daddy.
32:40LAUGHTER
32:41Sorry, excuse me.
32:43Well, thank you, Jasmine's family.
32:45Who's got a question?
32:46Have we got another question now from our audience?
32:48Someone over here, have we got coverage?
32:50She's had her hand up for ages.
32:52Oh, you've had your hand up for ages.
32:53All right, all right, I think we can get coverage.
32:55Yes, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, you.
32:57Hello, hi.
32:58What's your question for Jasmine?
32:59So, I'm here with my fellow food teachers.
33:02Oh, great.
33:03Not really a question, you're just describing your life.
33:05LAUGHTER
33:06And we were wondering, were you as successful
33:09with your food lessons at school
33:11as you have been in the tent?
33:13That is a wonderful question.
33:14I can't even remember my lessons at school.
33:17Oh, that's worrying for a doctor.
33:19LAUGHTER
33:21I wish they'd taught us how to make a fondant fancy, honestly.
33:24Do you think we could do that in an hour?
33:26We have an hour for our lessons
33:28and they have to do their own washing up.
33:30Oh!
33:31They haven't got there and stubbed anything.
33:33LAUGHTER
33:34Could they do that in an hour, do you think?
33:36To be honest, I don't think you could do that in three hours,
33:38so maybe we've got to go back to the Swiss.
33:40Maybe Swiss roll.
33:41Oh, that's not bad.
33:42Don't say that.
33:43Hassan's right there!
33:45So cruel, so cruel.
33:47You did a Swiss roll in an hour?
33:49Yeah.
33:50My gosh, we should take notes.
33:52I was going to say, we've got everybody here from the tent,
33:55and I wanted to ask, what did you enjoy most of all
33:57about being in the tent with Jasmine?
33:59The first time I think Jasmine ever saw the word chihuahua written down,
34:03she thought it said chia hua hua,
34:05which is why, as we go into the tent to do the showstoppers,
34:08we're all going chia hua hua to each other.
34:11It's like our version of hakuna matata.
34:14Yeah.
34:15Yeah.
34:16True would like to ask a question.
34:18Who are you going to ask a question of?
34:20I want to ask a question of all the bakers.
34:22Oh, fine.
34:23We've heard so much about how much some of them have cried.
34:26Mm.
34:27I want to know if anyone got through Bake Off without crying.
34:30Yes, is anybody not weak?
34:32What's that, Toby?
34:33Well, I thought Ian never cried until very recently I found out
34:36that he actually used to sneak off for a secret cry in the toilets
34:39away from the toilets everybody else uses.
34:41Oh!
34:42Oh!
34:43Ian, is this true?
34:44Yeah, it was a separate toilet, there was no one beside you,
34:46so no one could hear you.
34:47So you could cry as loud as you wanted as well.
34:49And it was fine.
34:51In Bake Off, no one can hear you cry.
34:53LAUGHTER
34:54And I forgot that we're mic'd up as well,
34:56so we're probably just listening to that.
34:58And we've got the audio of it now!
35:01LAUGHTER
35:02Oh, Ian, that's very sweet.
35:05Yeah, I feel like I just needed a release after every showstopper
35:08because I lost my mind every single time.
35:11Much better to say you're going to the toilet for a cry than a release.
35:14LAUGHTER
35:16Ian and Toby, thank you.
35:19Back to you, Jo.
35:20You're just there.
35:21LAUGHTER
35:22Thank you, Tom.
35:24APPLAUSE
35:26Thanks for now, guys.
35:27Coming up, we'll be presenting Jasmine with a special memento
35:30of her time in the tent.
35:32Plus, she'll be taking on O.T. and John in our final celebrity challenge.
35:36See you shortly.
35:37APPLAUSE
35:51Welcome back.
35:52Bake Off champion Jasmine is here, along with O.T. John and Dame Proulx.
35:55Let's have one last look at what you've been making in the kitchens of Britain.
35:59And just when I think, surely they can't get any weirder,
36:03up pops a cake from Danielle depicting the storage box
36:06that her father Bruce had helped them build.
36:09And here's the cake Danielle made for Bruce's 70th birthday.
36:14LAUGHTER
36:15APPLAUSE
36:17That's so cute.
36:18I can work out with the person in the kitchens.
36:21APPLAUSE
36:22Over to Dublin now, where Maria decided to make some delightful pink
36:27flamingo meringues she saw online.
36:29Here's what she was aiming for.
36:31Mmm.
36:32And here's how Maria's turned out.
36:34LAUGHTER
36:36While in Cornwall, Andrew baked a cake for his mother's 80th.
36:44She loves her garden and also the fox, who is a regular visitor,
36:48digging up the grass at night.
36:50So here's the cake Andrew made.
36:52APPLAUSE
36:54That's so bright.
36:55That was brilliant, isn't it? I know.
36:59We got some brilliant unicorn cakes sent through, like this one Olivia sent in,
37:03made by her dad Wayne.
37:05Let's also celebrate the efforts of Jolie.
37:08Here's her equally delicate cake of the mythical creature.
37:11LAUGHTER
37:13And finally, Wendy's had a go at some chocolate fairy cakes,
37:20which didn't quite go to plan.
37:22Here they are.
37:23LAUGHTER
37:24Oh, wow.
37:25LAUGHTER
37:26Is that what happened?
37:27Yes.
37:28Wait, what is that?
37:29The chocolate came out.
37:31LAUGHTER
37:32Maybe you could use some of those in anatomy classes.
37:35LAUGHTER
37:36But thank you to everyone who sent their pictures in this series.
37:40APPLAUSE
37:42They've been brilliant.
37:43And time now to have one last nosy around a celebrity's kitchen.
37:48See if you can identify our mystery star baker.
37:59Somebody with a foot.
38:00Yeah.
38:01Interesting.
38:02Narrows it down.
38:03And the fridge.
38:04LAUGHTER
38:12Blueberries.
38:13Blueberries.
38:14Blueberries.
38:15Why blueberries?
38:16I think that's a...
38:18That's a female hand.
38:19Mm-hmm.
38:23There's some spices being held by a girl.
38:25Spices.
38:26Spices.
38:27They look like Leeds United football socks.
38:29Oh.
38:30Yeah.
38:31What are you thinking, Oti?
38:32Mel B.
38:33Oh, let's have a look and see.
38:36APPLAUSE
38:41Hi!
38:42It's me, Mel B.
38:45Woo-hoo!
38:46I've been trying to figure it out before.
38:48Congratulations.
38:50Now, back to you, Jasmine.
38:51And here comes Tom with his trolley.
39:02Oh, hi, Jasmine.
39:05Jasmine, what would you say was the best thing about being on this year's Bake Off?
39:09There were so many highlights.
39:10I mean, all of you guys, there's definitely a highlight.
39:14And the crew.
39:15Everyone behind the scenes.
39:16Aw.
39:17The runners, the washer-uppers, the camera crew, the soundies, the presenters, the judges.
39:22I don't know how they fit so many incredible people into one little white tent.
39:26Aw.
39:27Um, yeah.
39:28APPLAUSE
39:33Aw.
39:34Shame on you guys for not even referencing those people.
39:38Another reason why you didn't win.
39:42Jasmine, or should I say Dr Jasmine?
39:46Not yet, not yet.
39:47Not yet.
39:48Oh, fine.
39:49OK.
39:50Because I was going to say, in your professional opinion, what are the symptoms of citric acid
39:53poisoning?
39:55Although I would say I'm glad you're not my doctor, because my doctor tells me to cut
40:00down on sweet treats.
40:01She doesn't go around making delicious cakes to tempt me with.
40:04Or maybe she does.
40:05I don't know.
40:06We don't have long enough in the appointment to talk about recipes.
40:09But, um...
40:10Do you want to bring up the NHS?
40:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:12Absolutely.
40:13If I talked about recipes, we wouldn't have time to talk about my rash.
40:16Anyway.
40:17Where are we?
40:18Oh, yes.
40:19Congratulations.
40:20And none of us saw that coming, did they?
40:22None of us saw you being the winner coming.
40:24I think it was totally out of the blue, wasn't it?
40:27What a surprise.
40:28I mean, you only won Starbaker, what was it?
40:30Five?
40:31Five times!
40:36We're all so, so over the moon for you and for your well-deserved win.
40:41What a year, what a final, and what a worthy winner indeed.
40:47Oh, thanks, Tom.
40:48And now, Jasmine, let's take a look back at your time in the tent.
41:01I can't imagine myself being competitive over baking.
41:04You've ticked all the boxes.
41:06It looks very attractive.
41:07It tastes great.
41:08Yeah!
41:09First place, Jasmine.
41:10This is the winner.
41:11Jasmine.
41:12Excellent, really neat.
41:13It's very professional.
41:14Looks lovely.
41:15Everything tastes wonderful.
41:16Oh, my goodness.
41:17That is very good.
41:20This week, Starbaker has already won the Starbaker four times.
41:23Jasmine.
41:24Jasmine.
41:25Jasmine.
41:26Jasmine.
41:28The winner of the great British Bake Off 2025.
41:33I would really, really, really love to win.
41:36Like, really love it.
41:38Jasmine!
41:39When I was in the middle of exams and trying to bake
41:42while I was trying to learn all my stuff.
41:44And it's been so much that I've done it.
41:46And I'm just unbelievably happy.
41:57Time for the grand unveiling.
41:59So, there you are with Prue and Paul, all holding your mini meringue pies, along with your showstopper final table cake, handshake-worthy chocolate fondue, and Christmas tree macaron tower. Jasmine, everyone.
42:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
42:24But, sir, we're not going to let you go yet, because you're joining in our final Extra Slice Celebrity Challenge.
42:36And to find out what it is, it's over to the Selectatron.
42:39It's the Obstacle Course.
42:52APPLAUSE
42:54Tom, can you just remind us of the rules?
42:57I'd be delighted to, Jo.
42:58You've all got to complete the Obstacle Course whilst balancing an egg on your cake stand.
43:05If you get to the end, you have to curtsy before Dame Prue, and then tip your egg into the mixing bowl.
43:12The quickest to complete the course is the winner.
43:14Drop your egg and that's your go.
43:17Finished.
43:18Right, Oti, you're up first, so start when you hear Tom's whistle, OK?
