The new Bake Off season is finally here, and if your plans tonight don’t involve sitting in front of the telly scoffing a whole cake then really, what are you doing?
We’re hours away from meeting the 12 bakers who will make up this year’s series, and they include engineer Giuseppe Dell’Anno who will be flying the flag for Bristol.
Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith are, of course, back to judge the bakers’ technical challenges and showstoppers, with hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas ready to cause havoc in the tent.

Cast and crew bubbled up earlier this year to film the show - and were all required to take regular Covid tests.
