Overview
- Mitchell, a 23-year-old medical student, triumphed over fellow finalists Tom Arden and Aaron Mountford-Myles.
- The finale featured a signature of iced finger buns, a technical of madeleine towers, and a 1.2-metre table-cake showstopper.
- Paul Hollywood praised Mitchell as a worthy champion and said there was never a week she looked in danger of elimination.
- Arden topped the technical and earned strong praise for his 1.2m showstopper, though an early slip saw him mix citric acid for salt in the signature.
- Social media reaction was divided, with some viewers arguing the result should hinge on final-day performance rather than cumulative form.
