Even presenters Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding were fans of Tan as they performed their own Queer Eye-style makeover on a cardboard cut out at the beginning of the episode.
Despite getting off to a rocky start with his pistachio and cardamom eclairs, Tan managed to win over the judges with his technical challenge battenberg and his ‘deepest fear’ cake, which was ageing and wrinkling.
After winning, he sweetly gushed: ‘I won! This means so much to me, I love this show so much. I’ve had the time of my life.’
