There was no Star Baker on the seventh week as Paul and Mary felt singling out one baker when the results were incredibly close would not be right.

Jo Wheatley (winner)

Joanne Wheatley (née Rutland; born 27 May 1969), the winner of the second series,[9] has started her own cookery school and written two cookbooks A Passion For Baking (2013; ISBN 9781780338774) and Home Baking (2014; ISBN 9781472109354).

There was no elimination the sixth week after John sustained a major injury to his finger and could not complete the last bake. The judges determined it would be unfair to eliminate anyone.

John Whaite (winner)

John Whaite (born 1988/89), winner of the third series, was a University of Manchester graduate student studying law at the time of the series.[15][16] Whaite was raised in Wigan. He also has two older sisters.[16] He attended the University of Oxford twice.[17]

After Bake Off, Whaite graduated with a law degree.[18] He then attended London school of Le Cordon Bleu.[19]

In January 2016, Whaite also established his eponymous cookery school, John Whaite's Kitchen Cookery School, a converted 400-year-old barn on his family's farm in Wrightington, Lancashire.[20][21] He appeared in ITV's Lorraine,[22][23] This Morning, What's Cooking?, The Alan Titchmarsh Show and Sunday Brunch. He also co-presented ITV's cooking competition series Chopping Block with Rosemary Shrager in 2016–17. He also regularly appeared as a guest of presenter Steph McGovern's Channel 4 talk show Steph's Packed Lunch.[24][25]

Whaite announced his engagement with his partner Paul Atkins, a graphic designer, in July 2017.[26][27]

Whaite was a contestant on the nineteenth series (2021) of Strictly Come Dancing, appearing as part of the first ever male same-sex pairing with professional Johannes Radebe.[28][29] Whaite and Radebe in December 2021 became one of two finalist pairs but then lost the contest to another pair, actress Rose Ayling-Ellis and dancer Giovanni Pernice, via public vote.[30]

Whaite wrote the following cookbooks: John Whaite Bakes (2013), John Whaite Bakes at Home (2014), Perfect Plates in 5 Ingredients (2016), Comfort: Food to Soothe the Soul (2018), and A Flash in the Pan (2019).

Brendan Lynch

Brendan Lynch (born 1948/49), runner-up of the third series, was a semi-retired company director at the time of the series.[15] Two years after Bake Off, in 2014, Lynch was treated in four months for his chronic ulcerative colitis, to which he attributed stress during the Bake Off filming and consumption of his own bakes. Since then, he consumed nutritional supplements and reduced use of sugar, lactose and gluten in order to control the condition.[31]

James Morton

James Morton (born 1990/91), runner-up of the third series, was a University of Glasgow medical student when he first competed.[15] When originally aired, he became a fan favourite for "his relaxed, laid-back approach and love of experimentation". In the finals week, his Signature bake's bottom was "soggy", and he baked five cakes instead of only one as instructed for his Showstopper, both of which failed to impress the judges.[32]

Since then, Morton graduated from the University with a medical degree in March 2015, qualifying him a doctor.[33] He also established his blog containing his recipes.[34] He is the son of Tom Morton, a broadcaster.[35]

Morton re-competed against Chetna Makan (series five), Howard Middleton (series four), and Janet Basu (series two) in the Boxing Day episode of The Great Christmas Bake Off 2016 special. Makan was crowned the episode's winner.[36]

Morton wrote cookbooks Brilliant Bread (2013), How Baking Works (2015), Brew: The Foolproof Guide to Making World-Class Beer at Home (2016), Shetland: Cooking on the Edge of the World (2018) with his father Tom as co-writer, Super Sourdough (2020), Sourdough from Scratch (2021), and Brew from Scratch (2021). His book Brilliant Bread won the Cookery Book of the Year Award at the 2014 Guild of Food Writers Awards.[37] The 2018 critically-acclaimed book Shetland was criticised by some over what they perceived as a negative portrayal of Shetlanders, particularly Morton's poem.[38][39]

Morton also wrote baking columns for a Scottish tabloid Sunday Mail.[40]

Morton applied one of his brews Oatmeal Extra Pale, commercially produced by Dark Star Brewing Company, for the now-defunct National Home Brewing Awards in 2014.[41]

Nadiya Jamir Hussain[79] (née Begum;[80] born 25 December 1984), the winner of the sixth series, was a full-time mother and housewife at the time of the competition. Also, at the time, she lived in Leeds with her husband Abdal[81]—an IT specialist—and three children, and she studied for an Open University degree in Childhood and Youth Studies.[82] Her appearance on the show and ensuing popularity with audiences were deemed important steps toward shifting stereotypes about the Muslim community and acceptance about cultural diversity.[83][84][85]

She has five siblings: three sisters and two brothers. Her father, who originates from Beanibazar, was a chef and owned an Indian restaurant.[86]

Hussain appeared in her television shows The Chronicles of Nadiya (2016), Nadiya's British Food Adventure (2017), Nadiya's Family Favourites (2018), Time to Eat (2019), Nadiya Bakes (2020), and Nadiya's Fast Flavors (2021).[88][89] She also appeared as one of judges for the fourth series of Junior Bake Off on CBBC.[90]

In 2016, Nadiya was given the opportunity to bake the official cake for Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday.[91] She was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2020 New Year Honours for services to broadcasting and the culinary arts.[92]

His parents emigrated from India to the United Kingdom in the 1970s.[94] Ray moved to Manchester with his parents while attending the Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School (Habs). He graduated from the Habs in 2004, and then from King's College London with a bachelor's degree in Medicine.[95]

After Bake Off, Ray appeared in one of January 2016 episodes of BBC's This Week supporting junior doctors' strike amidst government negotiations over pay and working conditions.[96][97] He also appeared in a one-episode medical programme Be Your Own Doctor (2016) with co-host Kate Quilton.[98] He also has written columns and published his recipes for The Guardian.[94][99]
