One baker in the final who has received the Star Baker accolade numerous times this series is Jasmine, who cites her great aunt as her baking inspiration.

"She has a magical way of making all her bakes taste absolutely delicious," she said. "I remember standing on a chair in her kitchen in the Scottish Highlands as a little girl kneading bread."

But what else is there to know about Jasmine? Read on to find out more about The Great British Bake Off 2025 contestant as she heads into the final.

Age: 23

Location: London

Job: Medical student

Jasmine is a 23-year-old medical student living in London with her cousins while completing her degree.

Born and raised in Edinburgh, Jasmine learnt the basics of bread and cakes through her mother and aunts, and has fond memories of batch baking for big family get togethers during holidays in the Scottish Highlands.

Jasmine had "never dreamt" she'd be on Bake Off. She applied on a whim and was shocked after every round she got through in the interview process.

"I laughed, I could not stop laughing, it felt so bonkers and surreal and almost ridiculous that it was actually happening," she explained of learning she'd be on the show.

"I was on a train in London, I had to talk in complete code because there was a granny sitting opposite me who I am almost 100 per cent sure was a Bake Off watcher."

What are Jasmine's strengths and weaknesses as a baker?

Jasmine loves using "classic flavours and techniques to produce delicious bakes", but is yet to produce "funky flavour combinations" successfully.

The Great British Bake Off continues on Tuesday 4th November at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
