Peter Sawkins joined "Good Morning America" from his home in Scotland after making history as the youngest baker to earn the title at just 20 years old.
"It was a childhood dream come true. I've watched the bake off for half my life and I managed to win it. It was crazy," he said reacting to the victory. "It was absolutely amazing."
In a season unlike any other, competing under lockdown in "a bakeoff bubble" due to COVID-19 precautions, Sawkins said even his roommates didn't know how the finale was going to play out.
"My flatmates did not know -- it just made the whole experience more fun cause I could watch with them in the flat and they had the excitement of not knowing whether I stayed or left. Then we had big cheers in the final when they were relieved to see me win it."
Sawkins said that even amid quarantine the competitors "had a great time -- there was so much energy, the crew was amazing -- we all had a blast."
