It’s a new year which means new series! Get ready to be blown away by The Great British Bake Off!!

There are new competitors, new challenges and tasty treats all waiting to be found in these mouthwatering episodes. It might almost make you want to have a go yourself! So get ready and hold onto your pastry brushes because this series will blow your Yorkshire puddings out of this world!

This year’s series is all about standing up for cancer and the four contestants taking part are the six-time Emmy Award winning actor John Lithgow; Russell Brand, who currently runs his own YouTube political talk show; the Lancaster-born comedian Jon Richardson and, last but not least, Hannah Cockroft, who is a Paralympic athlete from Yorkshire. Paul and Prue definitely won’t go easy on this lot! Noel and Sandi will be alongside the bakers – hopefully not distracting them – but that may be a challenge.
