Given it was the grand finale plus the last

one on the BBC, it comes as no surprise that last night’s (October 26) Great British Bake Off

was the most-watched episode ever.

Overnight figures released this morning reveal that 14 million people tuned hollywood smile in amman jordan to see who would come out on top this year – the show’s highest overnight audience (via BBC News

).

The audience peaked at 14.8 million when Candice Brown was crowned the winner

just before the end at 9pm.

This is a big shift from last year, when 13.4 million watched Nadiya Hussain crowned champion.

The figures are also yet to take into account views on catch-up services, so expect the final consolidated rating to be even higher.
