BAKE OFF: PEEP SHOW STARS INCLUDING DAVID MITCHELL AND OLIVIA COLMAN ENTER THE TENT FOR CHRISTMAS SPECIAL ON CHANNEL 4

For the first time since Peep Show wrapped in 2015, fan favourites David Mitchell, Olivia Colman, Isy Suttie, Matt King and Sophie Winkleman reunite – and this time, they’re donning festive jumpers and rolling up their sleeves to tackle a series of seasonal baking challenges.

Under the watchful eyes of judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood, and with plenty of mischief and charm from Bake Off hosts Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond, expect laughter and chaos in this Great Peep Show Christmas Bake Off special.

The group will attempt to whisk, knead and decorate their way to glory with challenges paying homage to Peep Show. But will their culinary creations rise to the occasion, or will they collapse like a poorly-proofed loaf?

It follows the main series which concluded earlier this month which saw twelve bakers entered the Bake Off tent at the start of the competition, but only one could be crowned the winner of The Great British Bake Off 2025, and Alison announced that Jasmine, 23 from London was the winner of The Great British Bake Off Series 16.  She celebrated her win in an amazing tense final episode with fellow finalists Tom and Aaron.

Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith judged 12 Bakers with 30 Challenges over 10 episodes for the 16th series of The Great British Bake Off.  This series the Bakers have baked their way through Cake Week, Biscuit Week, Bread Week, Back to School Week, Chocolate Week, Pastry Week, Meringue Week, Dessert Week, Patisserie Week, and ending on a nailbiting Final.

After nine amazing weeks it was just 3 bakers left as finalists Tom, Aaron and Jasmine faced their biggest challenges, and the pressure was at an all-time high.  The stakes couldn’t have been greater as the three remaining bakers battled it out in the iconic white tent for their last ever challenges of 2025 which would test every aspect of their baking prowess.  None of it was easy, but they all coped magnificently.  The three Finalists put their all into this series and produced amazing baking creations. 

For the signature challenge the bakers had to wow the judges with their flavours and techniques by creating the classic British iced finger bun.  Next was a jaw dropping tower of French delights in the technical, and finally for their last ever bake the 3 bakers were tasked with making the largest cake in Bake Off history!

From week one Jasmine hardly put a foot wrong, her command of classic flavours, flawless execution and incredible work ethic has seen her scoop two Hollywood Handshakes - and she’s only the second in Bake Off history to score five Star Baker wins!  2025 was to be Jasmine’s year, and she triumphantly took the trophy home. 

The Great Festive Bake Off airs this Christmas on Channel 4.
