The Great British Bake Off 2020 is doing everything it can to ensure that it will air this year.
The much-loved baking competition - which sees contestants battle it out to prove they can whip up the best cakes, pastries, biscuits and pies - will air on Channel 4 later in 2020.
And bosses of the series - that has already resumed filming - are adamant that the cheery show will return, and in a bid to ensure that happens they have made the judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith and TV hosts Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding stick together in a social bubble over the last six weeks.
Also joining the household names in the social bubble are the GBBO crew and contestants.
Bake Off boss Kelly Webb-Lamb, deputy director of programmes, told the Daily Express: "We have worked hard with them to put testing and quarantine regimes in place beforehand for all talent, all cast, all crew, so that when we go into the bubble we know everyone there is negative.
"The car you're driving to set also has to be quarantined. Nobody can have been in it for the time of quarantine and then everything that comes on to set has to be properly disinfected to protect everybody. That means that set is Covid-secure and that enables a little bit more flexibility - so in the tent what you will see looks like normal Bake Off because it is normal Bake Off.
"Working to ensure we could get Bake Off back on the screen was such an important thing for us as a channel, such an important thing for the audience - and [show makers] Love Productions were just full of ingenuity and determination to get it to happen."
It comes after reports that the show has decided to allow close bodily contact between the stars of the Channel 4 series.
The series recently resumed filming and it has been told that in a bid to keep the show as "normal" as possible, bosses have decided that dishy judge Paul will be allowed to shake hands with hopeful bakers - which is his way of congratulating them when they whizz up a top notch bake - and that hosts, judges and contestants can touch as they are all in one "bio-secure bubble".
A show source told The Sun at the star of August: "In these strange times, producers want the 2020 series to be as close to normal as possible and they feel that it wouldn't be the same without a Hollywood handshake.
"The judges and hosts and the contestants have all been deemed clear because of the bio-secure bubble and regular testing.
"So if the baking is up to scratch, we'll see some handshakes, and not elbow bumps, being dished out before long."
Bosses are yet to officially announce a date for the exciting season, however budding bakers can delight in knowing the season will certainly return this year.
