Less than 15 minutes before the winner was announced everyone knew that Candice had it in the bag.

As she presented perfect sausage rolls, flavoursome prawn quiches and a luscious chocolate cake made with olive oil for a humongous garden picnic, Bake Off viewers were already calling it, without a doubt.

She looked genuinely flabbergasted when her name was read out – seconds before squealing and bursting into tears.

And viewers got just as emotional…

Well done, Candice. Well done, everyone!
