Fans of the Great Britsih Bake Off couldn't hide their joy at the much-loved series returned on Tuesday night (September 13). Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas were back at the helm of the baking competition while Dame Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood returned to cast an eye over the amateur bakers' creations.
Before the 12 new faces who will be taking over our Tuesday nights for the foreseeable, there was somewhat of a Bake Off tradition to be upheld as the show's famous quartet appeared in a hilarious sketch.
Matt and Noel were the first to appear, dubbed 'Luke Piewalker' and 'Princess Layer Cake'. They exchanged a few words before they introduced the character of 'Pruebacca'. Prue then appeared in the aforementioned Chewbacca costume but still wearing her signature bright coloured jewellery.

Viewers were soon commenting on social media about the 'bonkers' opening to the 2022 series before they were able to find out more about the bakers who will be making the famous tent their home. And there is another eclectic mix of people dedicating their time to taking part in the show in a bid to become the ultimate Star Barker - from a nuclear scientist to an architectural assistant, and a music teacher to a former charity director.
But like any other year, it was the show's opening credits that caught fans' eyes. Back in 2021, Bake Off viewers were 'fuming' when they spotted the same problem they have noticed from the past '11 years'. And that has now entered a 12th year as the cake featured in the show's titles was STILL missing that raspberry.
However, it wasn't the missing fruit that left them with questions this time around and it was instead the girl that has also featured after year in the opening sequence - and has never changed. @minipoppit asked: "How old is that little girl in the opening credits of #BakeOff now? Where is she? #GBBO."
@fozzyo echoed: "How old is the girl in the #gbbo titles? Would be amazing if she entered one year!" @BeingMyHappy tweeted: "Anyone ever wonder what became of the little girl in the Bake Off credits? #GBBO." @Nigellockett2 shared: "That little girl must be driving by now #GBBO."
While @bubbledom123 requested: "Ok #GBBO can you please reshoot the opening credits using the same people because I really want to know how the angelic little girl looks like eight years on."
