ON your marks, get set… Bake Off!
Channel 4 last night gave the clearest sign yet that its hit baking show is about to return to our screens.
Bake Off has treated viewers to a teaser for the forthcoming series
Channel 4 indicated the hit show will return to screen imminently
The broadcaster aired a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it teaser showing the show’s famous tent from a distance.
Bake Off‘s instantly recognisable music played over scenes of the British countryside.
As a squirrel – one of the show’s favourite creatures for cutaway shots – scampered away, the tent came into view.
The words ‘coming soon’ were then shown over a blue and white gingham tablecloth.
More on Bake Off
While no date was given, the series aired in mid-September in 2021 and is likely to do the same this year.
The clip, which aired before last night’s episode of Night Coppers, was enough to send fans wild on social media.
One viewer raved: “BAKE OFF NEWS INCOMING I need this #GBBO.”
Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will return alongside hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas, plus a new batch of contestants.
Last year’s series of Bake Off was considered a classic by many, as Italian Giuseppe Dell’Anno won the show.
He beat Crystelle Pereira and Will ‘Chigs’ Chirag in a tense finale watched at its peak by 6.9 million viewers.
German software engineer Jürgen Krauss had been eliminated in a previous round, sparking 115 complaints to the TV watchdog Ofcom.
