Most successful Bake Off stars - TV empire, millionaire and worrying shelf life

mirror.co.uk:

The Great British Bake Off has produced more than just soggy bottoms. Across 11 fun-filled series, a host of amateur bakers have been plucked from obscurity and transformed into household names.

A number of stars have been catapulted to stardom, and it's not just the winners, with many launching lucrative careers on TV and writing best-selling cookbooks.

While one winner has gone from baking in their kitchen for their kids to producing a cake for the Queen - and become a millionaire in the process.

The top 24 contestants of all time have starred in a grand total of 458 TV show episodes and could earn an estimated £13.8k from sponsored Instagram posts alone.
