She was the winner of the seventh series of The Great British Bake Off, revealing in her victory speech that she started baking at four years old.

And Candice Brown certainly looked in her element as she attended the Cake and Bake Show at London’s Excel centre on Saturday.

The 32-year-old former teacher put on a chic display in a plunging ensemble, getting her hands onto a very appetising-looking  cupcake as she posed for pictures.

Making the most of her toned physique, Candice slipped into a plunging navy t-shirt which skimmed the floor, adding height to her stature in a pair of chunky wedges. 

Wearing her hair in a top bun, she added a bold red lip to the mix, putting on a tanned display as she posed with her fellow stars.

And taking to the stage during the show, Candice joked about rumours she was joining I’m A Celebrity’.

Speaking live on-stage, she laughed: ‘In recent months it’s been reported I’m going into the I’m a Celebrity jungle, joining Strictly Come Dancing and I’ve been engaged more times than I can remember. I love my alter ego, she’s far more exciting; all this Candice does is bake.’

And opening up about the new series of Great British Bake Off, she called it her ‘favourite show in the world’, before revealing her rather odd nickname.

She added: ‘I used to get called Barbara in the tent after Barbara Windsor because I always used to come out with things that sounded rude, but I never meant them to.

‘I met Barbara once and told her. She said ‘They call you Barbara, well where are your bosoms?’ I replied; I don’t know Barbara I’ve been asking myself that for 31 years’. 

On Friday night Candice attended the Shocktober Fest at Tulleys Farm in Sussex.

The Great British Bake Off winner opted for a vampy look in keeping with the Halloween theme with some sexy leather trousers and her trademark plum lipstick.

Scraping her dark hair into a slick topknot, she framed her eyes with lashings of mascara and iridescent shimmer.

She wrote: ‘This dude has picked me up, dusted me down, made me smile, made me laugh, told me I’m good enough when I said I wasn’t, stood by me, sang Tina turner, wiped away tears, holds my hand and tells me when my cake isn’t quite perfect. 

‘He is my one and only.’ 

Their romance recently came under scrutiny after rumours emerged that she and the former jailbird Liam Macaulay, 31, were engaged.

‘There are no wedding plans, we’re not engaged! I’m sure we will get married one day, so we don’t feel the need. Liam would never get down on one knee unless he was tying his shoelace,’ she humoured the hearsay.

Shortly before Candice burst on to screens last year, The Sun revealed that one year before the couple met, Scottish-native Liam, was serving a 16-month jail term for dealing cannabis.

He was arrested after police caught him with £6,970 worth of cannabis in his car as he an accomplice drove from Edinburgh to Inverness in 2009. Mr Macaulay then admitted supplying cannabis.

Sources close to Candice insisted she had nothing to do with the crime committed by Liam as she was not dating him at the time.

It comes after Candace discussed her ‘weight worries’ after revealing she’s currently ‘the heaviest she’s ever been.’

‘This is probably the biggest I’ve ever been and I do have weight worries. I think it’s something that women worry about. If I have my photo taken I’m always looking for the faults and the flaws,’ the pro baker told The Mirror.

Referring to her former job as a physical education teacher, which she quit last year after winning GBBO, Candice confessed that she wasn’t taking part in many sporting activities nowadays. 

Despite being partial to a ‘slice of cake for breakfast’, Candice does however try to eat ‘healthily while at home’  – but her efforts fall short as she admitted to keeping a ‘bag of sweets’ in her bag when she heads out. 

Candice also revealed that her image comes under scrutiny from social media users who troll her. 

‘Most of it was about my facial expressions. I do purse my lips, and I do pout when I’m concentrating. I pull funny faces – I wish I didn’t. But people are always going to pick on things,’ she revealed. 

Admitting that the comments were ‘hurtful’, Candice revealed she fired back at certain trolls to let them know it ‘wasn’t OK to humiliate someone.’
