Nancy Birtwhistle describes her win as a "life changer" on her website and it's easy to see why. Since being crowned champion in 2014, Nancy has taken up all kinds of opportunities from writing to cooking shows to acting. She's been a regular at food fairs and baking shows across the UK, and is also in demand as a teacher and guide, offering lessons to all age groups. She's a familiar face and voice on UK media, and her own Twitter and Instagram accounts are filled with tips on cooking, as well as her other passions: gardening and looking after her pets.
And when she's not cooking, Nancy has nine grandchildren to help keep her busy.
