The Great British Bake Off might just have a frontrunner - at least according to Paul Hollywood 👀🍰
- The Great British Bake Off has ‘one-to-watch’.
- Paul Hollywood has picked out an early frontrunner.
- But who is it and why have they been highlighted?
A GBBO star has been named ‘one-to-watch’ by Paul Hollywood. The judge delivered the verdict after the contestant won back-to-back star baker awards.
It was back-to-school week in the tent as Channel 4 introduced a new theme for series 16. There was plenty of cake, lots of custard, and one amateur was ‘expelled’ by the judges.

GBBO star named ‘one-to-watch’ in 2025
The 16th series is only four weeks old and there is plenty of time left before we reach the finish line, however, one baker has emerged as a frontrunner. After solid performances in the first two weeks, Jasmine has now won Star Baker two weeks in a row.
During back-to-school week, she impressed in all three of the challenges and topped the pile in the blind judging for the technical. Which was a fiendishly tricky one that removed all modern baking gear from the benches.
Following her second Star Baker award in a row, Paul Hollywood declared that Jasmine is “one-to-watch” this season. He highlighted her consistency and said that it put her in a good position going forward.
When is the next episode of Great British Bake Off?
