A BAKER’S DOZEN are headed back into the Great British Bake Off tent to prove themselves as amateur bakers.
The new series airs on Channel 4 on 28 August, with hosts Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding back at hosting helm and Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood taking up hosting duties.
Here’s everything we know so far:
1. The first technical challenge will see them making WAGON WHEELS.
No confirmed cameos from Nathan Carter or Darius Rucker just yet.
Can’t see the video? Click here (no one’s judging you, promise.
2. There’s going to be a vegan week, in a Bake Off first.
“Veganism seems to be growing and we wanted to represent that,” Paul told the BBC.
You can’t just say: ‘It’s okay for vegan [food].’ It has to taste good, period.”
But when asked if he would consider going vegan, his response was: “Are you joking?”
Paul, the planet is DYING.
3. That Tweet™️ will be addressed.
… Referring to Prue accidentally revealing the winner of the last series before the final episode had aired. Awks.
Sandi and Noel rip the piss out of it quite a lot in the first episode, apparently.
4. Noel got a haircut.
Snazzy.
5. The show stopper challenge involves making an, eh, “biscuit selfie”.
You can almost smell the impending doom wafting through the tent.
6. Apparently, there’s not a lot of innuendo in the first episode?
However, Prue looked to reassure journos that there was more to come. LOL. See what I did there? Very good. Carry on!
The Great British Bake Off airs 28 August at 8pm on Channel 4.
