Series 2 (2011) 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, has started her own cookery school and written two cookbooks A Passion For Baking (2013; ISBN 9781780338774) and Home Baking (2014; ISBN 9781472109354).

Series 3 (2012) 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. Whaite was raised in Wigan. He also has two older sisters. He attended the University of Oxford twice. After Bake Off, Whaite graduated with a law degree. He then attended London school of Le Cordon Bleu. 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. He appeared in ITV's Lorraine, 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. Whaite announced his engagement with his partner Paul Atkins, a graphic designer, in July 2017. 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. 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. 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. 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. James Morton James Morton (born 1990/91), runner-up of the third series, was a University of Glasgow medical student when he first competed. 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. Since then, Morton graduated from the University with a medical degree in March 2015, qualifying him a doctor. He also established his blog containing his recipes. He is the son of Tom Morton, a broadcaster. 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. Morton wrote cookbooks, including Brilliant Bread (2013) and Shetland: Cooking on the Edge of the World (2018) with his father Tom as co-writer. His book Brilliant Bread won the Cookery Book of the Year Award at the 2014 Guild of Food Writers Awards. The 2018 critically-acclaimed book Shetland was criticised by some over what they perceived as a negative portrayal of Shetlanders, particularly Morton's poem. Morton also wrote baking columns for a Scottish tabloid Sunday Mail. Series 4 (2013) Frances Quinn (winner) Frances Elizabeth Quinn (born 1981) is a British baker and children's clothing designer from Market Harborough who won the fourth series in 2013. Her first book release was Quinntessential Bak.... Discover the Mary Anne Boermans popular books. Find the top 100 most popular Mary Anne Boermans books.
