Jasmine Mitchell, who has alopecia, won Channel 4's The Great British Bake Off.

Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss, which can be cause by lots of different things. Mitchell, who is 23 and from Edinburgh, says she has had the condition since she was 12 and used to wear a wig. However, more recently she decided to embrace her hair loss and stop wearing the wig.
