Exclusive: Great British Bake Off winner Candice Brown 'I was in actual agony on Bake Off!'
CANDICE BROWN - WINNING BAKER AND LIPSTICK QUEEN!
In her first television interview, Great British Bake Off winner Candice talked about her trademark pout, baking disasters and keeping her win a secret for months...
On winning the show'I don't think anyone will ever realise, it means so much to me. I always thought I want to do it and it kept going. And I did it!'
On keeping her win a secret 'It was so drilled into us I think. I was petrified about the Bake Off snipers hiding. If I said something too much I'd get a cup cake thrown at me. 'The school kids didn't know. I'd go in and they'd ask, 'Nice weekend, anything happen.' 'No, I just did a bit of baking'
On baking wins and disasters'I baked continuously from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to sleep and a bit in between too. I did it over and over again. The ginger bread pub had been horrendous in practise. 'The fondant fancies I was in actual agony. They wanted 36 of them, I was in pain. 'The biscuits and icing I had to practice for that, I practising had been horrendous and my other half Liam said 'try your best'. And then I won star baker!'
On Bake Off's Jane'I got on so well with Jane, we got on brilliantly. I love Jane and I couldn't have shared that moment with two better people. We're going on a road trip together. I love France and you might have noticed I like my little antiques and Jane goes to France quite a lot. We can go and bake and eat.'
On her trademark lipstick 'I've always worn it. When I went on I thought I wouldn't go on looking like I'd been dragged through a hedge backwards. Obviously I did towards the end covered in chocolate.'
