It's Bake Off time!
It's a new week, and that can only mean one thing: The Great British Bake Off is back with a new episode!
This week, the bakers take on a brand theme as they head back to school and are tasked with creating flapjacks, cakes and school fete nostalgic treats.
One baker who is keen to impress the judges once more is Jasmine, who likes nothing better than using fresh, seasonal ingredients to create classic flavour combinations.
But what else is there to know about Jasmine? Read on to find out more about The Great British Bake Off 2025 contestant.
Who is Jasmine?
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.
