Bake Off star Peter Sawkins looks worlds away from his stint on the show as a fresh-faced uni student - six years on from winning the show

Bake Off winner Peter Sawkins looks worlds away from his stint on the show six years ago after launching his gym Instagram account. 

The University Of Edinburgh alum, 26, was the show's youngest ever winner after he wowed the judges in the tent back in 2020 aged 20.

However Peter now looks worlds away from his days as a fresh-faced uni student, sporting a beard, curly locks and an impressive muscular physique. 

As well as an account dedicated to his work and baking escapades – the star also has an Instagram account which focuses on his fitness and training. 

Last month he PB'd an impressive 150kg dead lift, which he joked was fuelled by cake. 

Fans and friends in the comments went wild for the fitness content as they penned: 'Get in there, boy!' 

Peter is also a keen runner and also plays badminton and does Hyrox and Crossfit. 

In August, Peter officially made the jump into baking and social media full time as he quit his job at the University Of Edinburgh. 

Taking to Instagram to share the announcement he told fans: 'I’m now a full-time (insert job title here) 

'If you have any ideas what I can call my job, please let me know! My best option currently is “Media Baker”.

I had the most amazing 8 years @universityofedinburgh. This is where I got my degree and is also where I had a great time working for 3 years in @uoesport and @uoesportsunion.'

He added: 'Side note, I’m open to work! Hit us up if you want to collab and create some cool things together in food, events, presenting, recipes and all that good stuff!

Thanks to you all for supporting the ride so far! I can’t promise immediate consistent content as my life will be a bit chaotic for the next month or so, but we will be trending in that direction soon.'

And Peter has been sharing his take on this year's series of Bake Off over on his YouTube channel.  

Peter is Bake Off's youngest ever winner, and during the show he admitted he relished teasing his flatmates as to his fate in the competition.

He explained to Lorraine that as per the rules of the show he had to keep his win secret until the final aired in November, after shooting the series over the summer.

'I kept it schtum I kept it quiet, I think two of my flatmates, we decided to keep it a secret from them, so it was quite fun torturing them and watching them cower on the sofa seeing if I'm going to stay in or get kicked out,' he laughed.

And as for the big final, there was plenty of celebrations when his pals eventually discovered he had won.

'I watched it with them it was just a huge celebration, they didn't know right until the end, it was just big cheers up in the flats I think we disturbed the flats above and below us,' he said.
