Channel 4 kept fans amused with the return of The Great British Bake Off this week as a new group of bakers took to the famous tent to show off their culinary skills. Over the years, the show has been the catalyst for the birth for some of the nation’s most loved stars, who have racked up legions of fans away from the baking world. While some have changed aplenty since their stint on GBBO, others have had extreme makeovers including one Strictly star and a bodybuilder.
We take a look at the biggest transformations from contestants on the show. John Whaite Former Bake Off winner John Whaite proved he’s more than a culinary pro as he took to Strictly Come Dancing last year. John was paired with professional Johannes Radebe and they were the first ever male same-sex pairing on the show and reached the final.
When he first appeared on the show ten years ago, John was a babyfaced baker and has since changed his appearance immensely. Kim-Joy Hewlett Fan favourite Kim-Joy Hewlett was a much loved character on series nine with her adorable bakes. Since her time on the show, Kim-Joy has swapped her brunette locks for an ever-changing look that is either orange or pink.
Cathryn Dresser Series three’s Cathryn made it to week eight but biscuit week proved a step too far and she left the competition Since her time on the show, she has undergone somewhat of a transformation with a new pink hairdo to the one that viewers saw at the time. She’s also written her cookbook for children and parents, “Let’s Bake”, in 2014 and keeps her followers updated with her efforts on Instagram too. Candice Brown Former PE teacher Candice, wowed the judges when she won the show in 2016.
