Entertainment Great British Bake Off
Great British Bake Off is back on our screens – 28 delicious memes, handshakes and soggy bottoms
THE TENT IS BACK! Sorry. Got a bit excited, there. The Great British Bake Off is back on our screens, and all is well with the world …at least all is well with Channel 4 at 8 o’clock on a Tuesday.
Unbridled silliness coming soon.
Bake Off starts tonight at 8pm on Channel 4. #GBBO pic.twitter.com/u4sGMcCT8M

We’re ready for every handshake, every wonky madeleine, and every soggy bottom – not to mention the stream of innuendo and the building cameraderie.

The same crew is back, Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond, the Fab Four of fluffy bakes.

In an uncharacteristically chilly tent, the brand new contestants were expected to create a loaf cake for the signature bake, a batch of identical Battenbergs (without a recipe) for the technical challenge, and a hyperrealistic illusion cake as the showstopper.

One baker, Jeff, went off ill – leaving the judges with no option but to cancel eliminations until week two.
These comments are a mere toe dipped in the waters of Bake Off watchalongs online.

First challenge: an elevated signature loaf cake.
Second challenge: eat the loaf cake in one elivator ride.#GBBO— innocent drinks (@innocent) September 24, 2024

Why do I not have a pet duck, or a chicken called Fanny, or a family loaf cake recipe handed down through the ages? I’m such a failure #GBBO
