The former University of Edinburgh student has embraced a new public persona focused on fitness and social media.
Six years after becoming the youngest winner of The Great British Bake Off, Peter Sawkins has unveiled a significantly transformed look and a new career path. Sawkins, who won the competition in 2020 at the age of 20, now presents a markedly different image, characterized by a beard, curly hair, and a more muscular physique.

In August, Sawkins transitioned to pursuing baking and social media full-time, resigning from his position at the University of Edinburgh. He had previously worked there for three years, in addition to earning his degree. Sawkins expressed openness to collaboration in areas such as food, events, presenting, and recipe development, seeking a new professional title, with "Media Baker" being a potential option.
