The Italian engineer who is based in Bristol wowed the judges with his showstopper of Italian desserts including a panna cotta.

Paul Hollywood said of the new winner, “The first time I walked into the tent and in the first signature I saw his mini rolls, I thought that looks like our winner, you could see the heart and soul going into his baking. He has done an incredible job.”

Prue Leith added, “He is such a classic beautiful baker and he represents a long tradition of classic Italian baking he has done it brilliantly all the way through.

Giuseppe was left speechless as he took it all in, commenting There are no words, I’m speechless for once.’
