The Great British Bake Off fans were left in shock as Georgie Grasso, hailed as "the very first Welsh winner," was declared the champion of the 2024 series. After an intense series presented by Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding, the final three contestants standing were Georgie, 34, Christiaan de Vries, 34, and Dylan Bachelet, aged 20. The finalists' initial challenge in the tent involved crafting scones. They later had to impress the judges with an afternoon tea ensemble. Their final task required them to construct an intricate hanging celebration cake. As the tension escalated, Alison declared: "This is the bake between winning or losing," reports Wales Online . BBC Christmas TV guide - full schedule of what's on this Christmas from Gavin & Stacey to Call the Midwife Great British Bake Off star says 'I quit' as Alison Hammond forced to step in Under the scrutinising gaze of judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith, as well as hosts Alison and Noel, Christian, Georgie, and Dylan began to exhibit signs of anxiety. Fan favourite Dylan, who had been performing well throughout the competition, encountered difficulties with his genoise sponge's consistency in the final round. This led viewers to speculate that Christian, who remained composed under pressure, might seize the victory from him. Meanwhile, Georgie also faced her own hurdles during her final showstopper, as she seemed to forget what she was doing. Retreating to the back of the tent, Georgie audibly questioned: "What am I doing here? " What did I come over here for?" Despite initial confusion, Georgie triumphed following three tense challenges. For her showstopper, Pru declared Georgie's cake "absolutely delicious," while both Pru and Paul concurred that its presentation was impressive. Nevertheless, some viewers couldn't make sense of Georgie's victory and took to X to voice their opinions. One viewer commented: "How on earth has Georgie won?" Another expressed: "Even with my Welsh bias, I think Christiaan should've won that. My money was on Dylan at the start, but unfortunately, he chose to morph into the wonderful Lucy Beaumont for the final. Congratulations to Georgie though." Another also remarked: "I'm happy for Georgie BUT Dylan is probably the best contestant this show has ever had. Such a weird result." However, certain fans were delighted with Georgie's win, with one posting: "Bravo Georgie, well done!" and another added: "Go Georgie... well deserved Welsh winner." Children's nurse Georgie, from Carmarthenshire, admitted her final showstopper challenge was "the most challenging bake I've ever done". She said: "When I saw the brief, I thought, game over. "It required considerable thought and planning. I practised about three times. My goal was to enable the judges to experience something truly reflective of myself in the bake, through my choice of colours and flavours. Undoubtedly, the assembly and time constraints comprised the most stressful aspects." As a mother of three, she spoke about the significant sacrifices she had to make to stay in the competition. She revealed: "I've had to put the family on the back burner which has been really hard. I've had to tell the kids 'no' a lot."
