Who won The Great British Bake Off 2025: clear results
Winner: Phoebe West
Runner-up: Noah Clarke
Star Baker (final): Joe O’Brien
Series 20 concluded on Channel 4 and Netflix with a finale in early November 2025. Phoebe West took the title, impressing judges with precise bakes and confident leadership in high-pressure challenges. This summary covers the finale, key moments, and where to watch full episodes and recipes.
Finale episode recap (episode 10)
In the final, bakers faced a Technical, a Showstopper, and a Pressure bake over one intense day. Phoebe’s showstopper—a layered botanical cake with mirror glaze—earned consistent praise for structure and flavor. Noah’s technical execution was tight, and Joe’s pressure bake (a hot-water-bath cheesecake) showcased speed and precision. Judges ultimately awarded the series title to Phoebe West.
Series context and format notes
Series 20 retained the signature GBBO format: Signature bakes, Technical challenges, themed Showstoppers, and Time-Trial Pressure tests. Filming wrapped in late summer 2025 at the tent in Harptree Court. The series balanced returning bakes with fresh twists, including elevated vegetarian and vegan options. While ratings remain strong, viewership data is subject to broadcaster updates.
