The 2014 semi-finalist triumphed after making a Scandinavian cinnamon Christmas loaf in the technical challenge, impressing the judges with her signature bake canapés and creating a series of mini treats in the showstopper - including baked Alaskas.

It was the last episode to be aired on the BBC before the show heads to Channel Four and also saw judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood reunited with hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins for the final time.

Mrs Makan has previous spoken about the move, she said: “I hope Channel 4 doesn’t change it, but that is something nobody knows.”

She added: “There will have to be some changes as it can’t be exactly the same for a different channel. Whether it will change for the better, I don’t know."
