The Great British Bake Off 2020 line-up announced - these are the contestants

It is exciting times for Bake Off fans as not only do we now have an air date, but now we have the full line-up to.

The Great British Bake Off  will be back to bring comfort viewing to our Tuesday night's from next week (September 22).

The show usually starts in August and runs on Tuesday nights until the final in October but the coronavirus pandemic delayed filming.

In a bid to get the show on the air, when it was safe to do so, the new amateur bakers and Bake Off crew managed to create a Covid-secure space by living and filming in a bubble.

There will be a slight change though as Sandi Toksvig quit the show following the 2019 series.

Judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood will be back but there will be a slight change to the series =as Sandi Toksvig quit the show following the 2019 series.

Instead, Noel Fielding will return as host and be joined by the shows brand new addition Matt Lucas

Now we finally know the contestants bidding to be crowning this year's champ - and there's a Greater Manchester local on board.
