During the season Theodoridis became hugely popular with the Italian public, who named him "timidone" (shy) and followed him on Twitter.
His victory brought him a €100,000 cash prize, and the opportunity to write his own recipe book. His plans include opening his own restaurant on the island of Hydra.
