She looked stunned after her win and told the cameras: "I did it, I won!"

Baker Norman stole the fan's votes however, with the audience fawning over the Scottish baker.

The legendary baker from 2014 became a firm fan favourite after viewers fell in love with his sweet nature and bizarre names for his bakes.

Norman didn't disappoint during the Christmas Special explaining to Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry that one of his bakes included “dufrickkies”.

When Mary asked what he meant, Norman simply replied: “It’s a name of something you don’t have a name for…”

He later declared he was also baking “ding dangs” to which Mary then knowingly smiled and said, “Like what’s it’s?”

Norman replied, “yes,” with an enormous smile on his face – leaving fans in hysterics.

And don’t forget his “exotic” nutmeg, which he’s putting with his whisky biscuits.

The Scottish star was joined on the show 2012 semi-finallist Catherine, 2011’s Mary Anne and Ali from 2013.

Throughout the show, Norman’s incredible personality shone through – with his incredible Russian hat getting a lot of compliments online.

Fans of the show were also treated to the usual cheeky innuendos expected from hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc.

Silver Fox Paul is left red faced after a cheeky joke about the size of his penis made the cut, with Sue saying: “He is still getting over eight inches – such things are still possible, Paul!”

The two episodes will be the final in the show’s run on the BBC – after the Bake Off was bought by Channel 4 in a 3-year, £75million deal.

It will also be the last time that the Bake Off team – comprised of Paul, Sue, Mary Berry and Mel Giedroyc – after only Paul decided to move with the show to its new home.
