The Great British Bake Off 2022: How to watch in the US, Spain and anywhere else in the world

Even though the country is still in mourning over The Queen’s passing last week, one thing that might bring a little happiness to our evening is the return of The Great British Bake Off. Yes season 13 kicks off tonight, 13th September 2022 with ‘Cake Week’ - and it just might be the thing to ‘raise’ our spirits. Oh how we've missed Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding...

In the episode which airs this evening on Channel 4, the bakers are challenged to produce 12 perfect mini cakes, bake a striking sponge cake and express their architectural skills by creating a scaled-down version of a home close to their hearts, entirely from sponge!

Now should you be currently out of the country on holiday, visiting family or friends somewhere else in the world - trying to watch something on Channel 4 ’s app or website can prove quite challenging.

Fear not though, as you can stream, catch up and watch all your favourite TV shows anywhere in the world with a helpful platform called a ‘Virtual Private Network’ - or VPN for short.

Just read on and check out below how you can watch The Great British Bake Off from your holiday destination, by using a VPN!

VPNs are a downloadable online tool that can be used to basically suggest you’re still using a UK-based IP address - and bypass the issue blocking your content, or Channel 4 in this instance.

We’ve popped a helpful step-by-step guide below on exactly how you can watch GBBO, when you’re outside the UK:

  1. Download a VPN server like NordVPN or ExpressVPN to your laptop, tablet, phone or other streaming device of your choice
  2. Once in the VPN’s interface, you then want to select a UK server
  3. Head to the Channel 4 and search for 'The Great British Bake Off' - or anything else you watch to watch
  4. Press play, sit back and get ready to watch the drama unfold - from soggy bottoms to over-baked cakes!

You can also catch up on any episodes that you may have missed of the Great British Bake Off - and even those that are streaming live.

Trust us when we say, we’ve been known to stream on the train home from work or a late night dinner with friends…

You can also use a VPN to watch The Great British Bake Off on Channel 4 - but will need a TV license to watch any UK TV shows live, even when you’re overseas!

So if you think you can get away with watching Corrie, Emmerdale, Eastenders or the latest drama that you just can’t stop binge-watching? Think again… Soz!

If you don’t know who’s who when it comes to the GBBO contestants for 2022 - you’ll find everything you need to know about them here!

So what are you waiting for? Have you used a VPN service before? Or are you willing to give it a try after our handy step-by-step guide above? Let us know what you’ve been watching recently in the comments section below.
