Eddie Scott was named the MasterChef 2022 winner on BBC One on Thursday night and said it the "best feeling ever".
Judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace applauded Eddie for his impressive skills as they handed over the MasterChef trophy and said he would be one of the "future great" chefs.
The 31-year-old Humber pilot was a "culinary powerhouse", who had barely put a foot wrong throughout the competition, the judges added.
