Great British Bake Off’s youngest contestant ever has announced she’s expecting her first baby, ten years after having her food judged by Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry.

Martha Collison started the new year off with a bang (or a bump) by sharing the happy news that she will soon be welcoming her first child with her husband Michael Haywood.

Choosing a photo of herself cradling her growing bump, as she stood in front of a farm of Christmas trees for the social media post, naturally Martha had to throw in a few baking puns within a caption.

Martha, who was just 17 when she competed in the 2014 GBBO series giving her the youngest title (of course, this does not include the Junior Bake Off stars), wrote: ‘Christmas with our own little pudding. Due to be ready in spring.’

‘#BabyBaker #BunInTheOven,’ she added.

Martha later also shared how grateful she was for her blessing: ‘Beyond thankful for this little blessing – our family is growing,’ she wrote.

The 27-year-old simultaneously shared the major life update on both X, formerly Twitter, and Instagram where she was met with many congratulatory messages.

‘Congratulations lovely xxx,’ wrote YouTube star Zoe Sugg.

GBBo alumni Selasi Gbormittah added: ‘Amazing. Congrats.’

Her GBBO co-star Nancy Birtwhistle wrote: ‘Yay – beautiful Martha x.’

The series five crew are a very supportive bunch who have celebrated Martha’s milestones together. At her 2019 wedding, nine of the stars attended and each of them made a cake for the newlyweds to cut into. Oh, how we wish we could have been a guest dining at this affair.

Martha made it to the quarter-finals of the popular BBC show and has been able to make a career out of her stint.

She has written two cookery books – Twist and Crave – and popped up on TV shows Blue Peter, The One Show, and Saturday Kitchen.

She also regularly appears on Virgin Radio UK’s The Graham Norton Radio Show as the show chef.
