Georgie Grasso was crowned the winner of The Great British Bake Off 2024 during Tuesday night’s final.
The 34-year-old pediatric nurse from Carmarthenshire in Wales beat fellow finalists Christiaan de Vries and Dylan Bachelet.
The mother-of-three made history as she is the first Welsh person to win the show and also to reach the final.
Georgie looked in shock after her win and was quickly embraced by her husband and children.
She said: ‘I cannot believe I’ve won it. It means everything, it’s just incredible. I can’t believe I’ve won The Great British Bake Off. I’ve always been so self-doubtful.
‘You make excuses and for once I just thought, no I’m going to go for it and put everything into it. I’ve proved to myself that I can do something.’

After her win, judge Prue Leith said: ‘Georgie did what she does best, classic British baking beautifully done and won it, and rightfully too.’
During the show, the three finalists had to make sweet and savoury scones for the signature, afternoon tea for the technical and a three-tier hanging cake for their showstopper.
Georgie impressed the judges on all of her challenges but they were particularly blown away by her hanging cake which was inspired by ‘summer gardens’.
After tasting it, Prue said: ‘That is utterly delicious. It’s got so much filling,’ and also called it ‘soft and luxurious’.
