'I’ll just sort of see if opportunities arise and grab them with both hands'

Following in the footsteps of Nadiya Hussain, this year’s The Great British Bake Off winner, Candice Brown, has a lucrative career ahead of her.

Speaking about her future following the win, Brown said there will no doubt be “plenty of cake” involved. Hussain - who won last year’s contest - reportedly earned £1 million from her recipe book alone and has since signed a lucrative deal with the BBC.

“I’ll just sort of see if opportunities arise and grab them with both hands,” Brown told Sky News the day after her victory aired on BBC One.

She also spoke about her highly anticipated road trip with fellow contestant Jane Beedle, saying: “I love all things vintage and I love France, and Jane spent quite a long time in France doing various different bits and pieces.

"We were saying we should go on a little road trip and then she can tell me off for buying massive antique things that will never fit in the car.”

Beedle also spoke about the road trip on BBC Breakfast, detailing the “special bond” the two share, adding: “We’re determined to do a road trip together.”

Fans of the series are keen to see the pair’s road trip, many of who Tweeted the BBC, imploring them to film a spin-off featuring Beedle in Ayia Napa.
