The Great British Bake Off is easily one of the most wholesome reality TV shows around.
Sure, at one time it had competition in the form of Strictly but, well, we can’t exactly see Alison Hammond sharing a forbidden kiss with one of the contestants, can you?
She’s far too busy falling off tables, winding up the bakers and wearing brightly-coloured outfits to be up to that.
In fact, the most scandalous thing to ever occur on the baking show was the #bakedalaskagate of 2014 and that was enough drama, thank you very much.
As this year's series of GBBO comes to an end and the winner is crowned (spoiler: we do announce the 2024 star baker at the end) we take a look back at what the past winners are doing now.
