See All Your Favorite 'Great British Bake Off' Winners Now

Everyone's favorite guilty pleasure baking show The Great British Bake Off has been running for 15 seasons and counting. Since its premiere in 2010, the show (also known as The Great British Baking Show in the United States) has changed hosts and judges a few times, but the feel-good nature of the series has never wavered.

It has also produced some incredibly talented bakers who have gone on to write cookbooks, host podcasts, and even host their own baking reality series.

Here is a look back at all the winners of GBBO and where they are now.

The very first winner of The Great British Bake Off was debt collector Edd Kimber. Since winning, Edd has gone on to write several cookbooks and amass an impressive following on social media, where he continues to share his favorite recipes.

Season 2 winner Joanne "Jo" Wheatley followed a similar trajectory and also published a few cookbooks following her win in 2011. However, she was involved in a bit of a scandal when her husband Richard was sentenced to seven years in prison for his involvement in a £60 million money-laundering operation.

She is currently living in Lisbon and keeps a very low profile on social media.
