Sara Cox was awarded the Star Baker apron on Channel 4’s The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer on Sunday.
The Radio 2 presenter, 49, impressed judges Dame Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood after rising to every challenge and receiving the second Hollywood handshake of the series.
Sara and fellow contestants Adam Hills, Reverent Richard Coles and Joe Locke were tasked with biscuits in the Signature category, custard in Technical Bake and finally a Showstopper where they made cakes depicting their famous best friends.
The DJ baked a caramel cake in the shape of colleague Jeremy Vine, who rode a crown – to honor his love of bikes – which the judges branded ‘absolutely delicious’.
After her win, Sarah said: ‘My kids won’t believe it, it all feels like a weird cheesy dream!’.

And declared that she would never take off her winning apron.
Meanwhile, Prue explained: ‘(Sara) went into the marquee, she won Signature, Technical and Showstopper. She is a good baker’.
After presenting his Jeremy cake to the judges, Paul said: ‘You’ve managed to create something very professional’.
Only for Sara to say: ‘The first time in my career that I have created something professional.
Adam decided to use the showstopper challenge to create his own unique cake in the shape of his Last Leg co-presenter Alex Brooker’s prosthetic leg.
Admitting to the judges: ‘Alex knows I’m doing it, but what he doesn’t know is that I’m doing it because he’s not my famous best friend, but I thought a prosthetic leg would be easier to do than a head’.
Despite impressing with the dessert decoration, the judges struggled to cut it, declaring that the comedian had both overmixed and overbaked his offering.
Heartstoppers star Joe, meanwhile, made a Victoria Sponge in honor of friend and ‘Broadway royalty’ Patty Lupone.
