The Great Christmas Bake Off crowned its 2023 winner on Sunday, with Sophie Faldo triumphing for the second time.
While everyone seemed happy about Sophie’s victory, no one was certainly feeling better than Prue, who had a chance to redeem herself after ruining Sophie’s first victory.
Even the official Great British Bake Off X account couldn’t resist poking fun at Prue’s mistake.
Speaking about her win, Sophie shared: ‘Yes, I’m very happy. What a beautiful way to start Christmas. I’m going to take this (the decorative plate) home and enjoy some mince pies.’
Prue added: ‘Sophie was brave to come back because she had a lot to lose. That was five years ago but of course she has grown up since then.
“She’s organized and thorough. When she does something, my goodness, she does it right.”

The tweet was quickly deleted and Prue apologized and wrote: “I’m in Bhutan.” The time difference is enormous. I thought they received it six hours ago. I’m in too much of a state to talk about it. I screwed it up.’
