Great British Bake Off viewers have shared their 'real winner' of the series following the tense final. Nelly Ghaffar captured viewers' hearts during Channel 4 show with her humour and caring nature.

The 44 year old Slovakian-born Palliative care assistant exited in episode six, leaving fans devastated. As she returned to the show for the final along with the other eliminated bakers, viewers took to social media to express their fondness for Nelly and call for her to have her own show.

One viewer posted: "We all know that Nelly is the real winner." A second said: "She back ! ! Definitely missed the entertainment and fun nelly brought to the show! ! Deserves spin off show Nelly's baking adventures hint hint."

"Can we just take a moment to imagine Nelly's Final Showstopper outfit. We've been truly cheated this year, a third fan commented.

Another remarked: "NELLY! Absolute Queen! Glad to see her on my screen again." Yet another fan enthused: "A gorgeous series for many reasons, but mainly for introducing us to the one and only Nelly! ".

The final saw Christiaan de Vries, Dylan Bachelet and Georgie Grasso as the last remaining contenders. Ultimately, Georgie emerged victorious, becoming the show's first-ever Welsh champion.

The 34 year old Paediatric nurse wowed judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith to secure the win. Speaking after her win on the show, Georgie said: "This is mad! I have won it, I can't believe it. This is just incredible. I can't believe that I have won The Great British Bake Off. It just means everything, I have always been so self doubtful. I have got this and that wrong with me and think I can't do it, and you make excuses. For once I thought I am just going to go for it and put my everything into it. I am just so proud of myself because I have proved I can do it, and now I am here today the Winner!"

For the signature, the bakers had to create delicate scones. In their last technical challenge, Prue asked them to make the quintessential afternoon tea. And finally, for the showstopper, the three Baker finalists had to whip up a hanging tiered celebration cake suitable as the centerpiece for a summer garden party.
