List of The Great British Bake Off Star Bakers


The Great British Bake Off is a British television baking competition to find Britain's best amateur baker. The show premiered in 2010, and aired its fourteenth series in 2023. From series two onwards, Judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry or Prue Leith have awarded "Star Baker" to the contestant deemed to have most excelled that particular week.
Numerous bakers have received the accolade on more than one occasion. For example, Ruby Tandoh in series four won the Star Baker title three times. Richard Burr and Jasmine Mitchell both currently hold the title record, winning five times. Each series winner has usually received the Star Baker award at some point, but the accolade holds no influence on the outcome.
