Great British Bake Off fans already know who's won the show

The Great British Bake Off returned to screens on Tuesday night with another batch of amateur bakers.

But fans already identified who was going to win the show after just one round.

The signature challenge saw bakers asked to make mini rolls for judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood.

However, normal mini rolls were not in order, as some contestants pulled out all the stops.

This included 56-year-old Jurgen.

Originally from the Black Forest in Germany, Jurgen, an IT professional, moved to the UK in 2003 and lives with his wife and son on the Sussex coast.

And for the first challenge, he made Black Forest flavoured mini rolls.

Prue and Paul adored his bake, saying it was not too sweet but not too sour.

This prompted fans to say that Jurgen was going to win the show.

One tweeted: “Jurgen is gonna take the win I can feel it.”

Lucy wrote: “Jurgen for the win. Black Forest mini rolls and a rabbit called Humprey. Amazing.”

Another said: “Jurgen will win the whole thing!”

Lewis wrote: “Jurgen is already my winner and I will hear no other arguments.”

The 11th series, which aired in late 2020, saw cast and crew move into Down Hall Hotel near Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, throughout the duration of filming, after being tested for the virus and self-isolating.

Peter Sawkins, an accounting and finance student from Edinburgh, was crowned the show's youngest-ever winner at 20.

He was also the first winner from Scotland in the show's decade-long history.
