Great British Bake Off's Jane Beedle in Candice Brown admission 'Had to try and compete'

After Noel Fielding presented Jane with her trophy, she gushed: “I’m almost lost for words. It’s so lovely to win it. It’s going to have pride of place somewhere – there’s no way I’m going to hide this under a bushel.”

Speaking about working alongside Howard on their podcast, Jane revealed: “He is brilliant. He’s such a joy. I really look forward to our podcast time, but sadly this year we’re doing it over zoom.

“Last year, we both headed into London and rattled around on the tube together, we’d meet at St Pancras under the indicator board and record. Howard is I think one of my favourite people, it’s a pity he lives such a long way away.”

The Bake Down is available to listen to now.

The Great British Bake Off continues tonight at 8pm on Channel 4.
