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.

"He is going through a very bad time health wise, so I think this is going to be a great boost. I don't say often or lightly that I am proud of what I do, but in this case I am really proud of what I have done. It's unbelievable!"
What is the prize?
Giuseppe was awarded the Great British Bake Off glass cake stand.
