Noel smiled and replied: "Ah, thank you Matthewpops."
Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith filled him in on what he had missed out on while he was away.
"I thought most of the flavours, with these three, were perfect," Prue Leith said of the showstoppers.
After critiquing Syabira, Abdul and Sandro's bakes, the finalists stepped outside the tent to find out who the winner was.
"Thank you for coming everybody, I am now going to pass you over to Matt who has an announcement," Noel said as he joined the bakers and their families outside to declare the winner.
Matt announced Syabira as the winner of the 2022 series and she was given a huge hug by her competitors.
"This is the biggest achievement in my life," she said while holding up her trophy.
"It's been a while since there was a woman winner on the show," she said. "We can do anything we want as long as we work for it."
Episodes of The Great British Bake Off can be streamed on All 4.
