Candice Brown
Candice Brown (born 21 December 1984) is a British reality television personality. She is most known as the winner of the seventh series of The Great British Bake Off; in her victory speech she attributed her success to starting baking at four years old.

She occasionally cooks on the ITV daytime programme This Morning. On 1 November 2017, it was announced that Brown would be taking part in the tenth series of Dancing on Ice on ITV, where she was partnered with Matt Evers.

On 1 January 2019, Brown returned for The Great New Year's Bake Off; however, she was not crowned Star Baker, losing out to series 8 runner up, Steven Carter-Bailey.

Candice Brown Just Reminded Twitter About The Dark Side Of Television

A new season of "Great British Bake Off" premiered in Britain on September 21, and that means Twitter once again lit up with the #GBBO hashtag. It's still early, and GBBO Twitter is still getting its feet wet. People are making relatable memes from screenshots of the show, or they're trying to decide who they're going to stan this season. "Stan" is fitting because GBBO fans do get a little obsessive ... and more than a little mean. In 2014, after GBBO baker Claire Goodwin was the first contestant eliminated, Twitter trolls body-shamed her and blasted her for crying on camera, according to the Daily Mail. Winning "Bake Off" doesn't bring immunity from the trolls either, as Nadiya Hussain can attest (via Closer).
