The 29-year-old from Salford was emotional on winning, and said: “I honestly can’t believe it. I don’t know how this happened. I never thought I could win this, and I’m only here because of my boyfriend Christian, and it means a lot because he believed in me and I didn’t believe in myself. I’m really proud of myself.”
Head judge Mary said: “It’s been a joy watching Pippa. She is a true home cook. She enjoys what she does and she just goes the extra mile.”
Talking to Middlehurst after the win, she added: “I think you’re an inspiration to all cooks at home. And that boyfriend of yours is very lucky!”
