The Great British Bake Off 2024 returned with its latest fifth season, which aired on September 24, 2024. As of right now, the baking competition has aired two episodes, and two bakers have left the legendary tent.
Hazel was eliminated from the 12 bakers, while one more baker, Jeff, left the show mid-way due to health reasons. The Great British Bake Off 2024 has the following ten remaining bakers: Nelly, Andy, Mike, Christiaan, Dylan, Gill, John, Sumayah, Illiyin, and Georgie.
The "baking" competition is fierce, and it is not calm for the bakers competing against each other. This is because while showcasing their baking abilities, the bakers must impress the judges to advance on the show.
Seeing such competition and bakers performing under stress, here is The Great British Bake Off 2024 winner prediction based on their performances on the show so far.
Who could win The Great British Bake Off 2024?
Illiyin
The baker seems to have a comparatively higher chance of winning The Great British Bake Off 2024. With "Middle Eastern" ingredients mentioned in her bio, the birthing trauma specialist midwife surely knows her wide range of ingredients and spices.
Additionally, working in such high-pressure situations as a midwife, Illiyin can work comparatively better than other bakers. Her husband is "Spanish," which can also be quite the cultural mix for the GBBO baker to experiment with different cuisines and tastes.
In addition, a few more bakers might also have strong chances of winning The Great British Bake Off 2024, given their backgrounds, works, and potential in the baking field.
Sumayah
Viewers must remember Sumayah, 19, the baker who prepared the famous Pato duck cake, as the show referred to it. Even at a young age, Sumayah prepared an impressive cake that judges called "a beautifully baked cake." Judge Prue mentioned that the cake looked like it "could flutter off" any minute from its place.
For the viewers who don't know, Sumayah also prepared a massive three-foot-tall macaron tower that contained 240 macarons. It was for her aunt's wedding ceremony. It says a lot for this 19-year-old baker to work under enormous pressure. So, there is a high chance that Sumayah might win The Great British Bake Off in 2024.
Georgie
Next is Georgie, who is passionate about food, specifically baking. With her Italian heritage and a keen interest in cooking, Georgie also impressed judges and viewers with her baking skills. Georgie, who refers to herself as a "cannoli connoisseur," always works out some new flavors and fascinating ideas for her next bake.
Fans must remember Georgie's hyper-realistic illusion cake, which was her chicken, Fanny. Even though her sponges did not turn out great in the initial stages of that challenge, she re-baked them and impressed judges with her cake.
Seeing an extraordinary-shaped cake crafted with precision, Judge Prue Leith mentioned that the cake was "lovely" and that (the chicken) the cake "had real personality." With a perfect middle layer and "lemon lightness," Paul Hollywood appreciated Georgie's "Fanny" cake.
With all these qualities, skills, and passion, Georgie is also a strong contender to win the show.
