Autumn is around the corner, which can only mean one thing: The Great British Bake Off is coming – and now we have a date.

Channel 4 has confirmed Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding will be back in the Bake Off tent on Tuesday 21st September at 8pm, so you better get your baking stations ready.

Last year’s edition, like everything in 2020, started a little later than usual with coronavirus safety measures in pace. Though it looks like we’re back to regular scheduling for 2021, safety measures will continue, with contestants going into isolation bubbles during their time in the tent.

Paul and Prue are back in the judging seat, of course, while Noel Fielding hosts alongside Matt Lucas, who took over from Sandi Toksvig.
