Candice Brown has been crowned champion of the Great British Bake Off, which aired for the last time on the BBC tonight.
The award was shifted to the 31-year-old PE teacher from 25-year-old Rolls-Royce aerospace engineer Andrew Smyth, and garden designer Jane Beedle, 61, for the coveted trophy.
She said:
"When they said my name that means more to me than anyone will ever realise.
"I have low self belief, even though my friends and family constantly build my confidence up. So it was a big moment in my life, probably the biggest so far.
"I felt that everything happens for a reason, and I did it, and that makes me smile so much. In fact, I can't stop smiling."
Mary Berry said: "Well deserved for her determination and passion, she really has excelled."
During the series, Brown was named star baker three times, Beedle was the first to hold the title, and Smyth had been awarded the honour twice in a row including in the semi-final.
The final show of the seventh series, which had a royal theme, saw the three bakers create a challenge involving meringues made up of three layers.
