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