It was such a close call!
Last updated 6th Sep 2022
The Great British Bake Off 2020 final aired on telly in November 2020 - so if you haven't watched it yet, look away now! After a super tense final saw Laura, Dave and Peter all race to be the best baker and win the show, it really came down to Peter and Dave in the end.
Peter became the youngest winner of the show ever at 19-years-old AND was also the first Scotsman! It was an amazing moment for him which truly warmed the hearts of the nation, along with a few other clips that made GBBO 2020 a final to remember.
7 heartwarming moments from the Bake Off 2020 final:
1) Noel consoling Laura
Laura had a habit throughout Bake Off 2020 of tending to have a mini breakdown when things didn't go as she planned. When her pastry slice melted in the summer heat, Laura took herself off for a moment - but Noel came to console her, telling her about tennis legend Bjorn Borg and encouraging her to put it behind her and focus on the upcoming tasks. Aww!
2) Peter being a bake off super fan
As Peter is the youngest person ever to win Bake Off at 19, we saw throwback photos of the student from his childhood, showing how his love for being had been inspired by watching the show as a youngster - what a lovely full circle moment for him!
3) Peter telling his family about his win
When a contestant wins Star Baker, it's always a sweet moment - so revealing that they've won is a million times more heartwarming! Peter's incredulous announcement to his family was met with screams of delight that could melt even the coldest of ice cream cakes.
4) Prue thinking of Peter like her grandson
Fans of the show were shocked when Prue revealed her age in an episode a few weeks back, with the revelation that she's 80 really leaving us in awe. But in a cute moment last night, Prue joked that she looked on Peter as a sort of grandson, adding that she was really chuffed for him.
5) Peter not telling his housemates he'd won
It's a miracle to us that those in the Bake Off can keep shtum, but for Peter to keep quiet about his big win whilst at university is astonishing! In the credits, it was revealed that his housemates were finding out with the rest of us as the show went out... Amazing.
6) Dave's baby
Another credits scene saw Dave introduce his baby Ronnie, having spoken about the upcoming birth of his first child throughout the show. An adorable video saw Dave with his son resting on his chest - and honestly, we melted faster than a chocolate challenge in the Bake Off tent. Since then, Dave has shared a snap of baby Ronnie holding a whisk in his tiny hand - aww!
Luis Troyano
In a truly touching moment, the Bake Off producers took the time to remember Luis Troyano, who sadly passed away earlier this year. Luis competed in the fifth series in 2014, making it to the final.
