Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will be back as judges and Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas are on hosting duties.

Following the trailer, some fans said they were rather emotional about the show's return, with many 'happy tears' being shed across the country, reports LancsLive.

One person tweeted: "The wholesome content we needed."

A second said: "We need this right now."

A third added: "Covid making me so ill I’m crying cause bake off is back soon."

Rahul Mandal, who won the competition in 2018, said: "I am waiting for this for so long.

"Not only me everyone in the UK as well as everyone across the pond!

"I can't wait! Good luck to all the lovely bakers!"

2014 winner Nancy Birtwhistle posted: "I was only thinking - the nights are drawing in, autumn almost here but that means Bake Off will be back.

"Looking forward to meeting a new set of bakers and seeing the male judge not looking a day older."
