Sophie Faldo, Series 8 (2017)

Calm, cool, consistent Sophie powered her way to a big win in 2017, a victory made even more famous when judge, Prue Leith, accidentally gave the result away on Twitter hours before the show aired. Sophie, who has a degree in psychology, was an army officer for several years, training at Sandhurst — the same elite officer school attended by Prince William and Prince Harry — and going on to serve in Afghanistan.

She was working as a stuntwoman when she entered the show, but since clinching the title, she's gone on to appear on TV and radio and at food festivals across the UK. Oh, and she loves cats as her Instagram proves, with Odin the kitten making regular appearances.
