Get ready for some soggy bottoms, terrifying technicals and surprising showstoppers as The Great British Bake Off is back for another year!
The series will return on Tuesday 13th September, and there’s a brand new batch of bakers ready to show off their culinary skills.
Channel 4 revealed this year’s contestants on Friday 2nd September.
They’ll be hoping to impress judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood, who will no doubt be giving out some of those famous handshakes for the best bakes. At the end of each week, one person will be crowned Star Baker while another will be sent home, until we’re left with just three bakers for the final.
Last year saw Giuseppe Dell’Anno crowned as the season 12 winner, as he beat Chigs and Crystelle in the last round. But who will become this year’s ultimate Star Baker?
We’re yet to see them bake, but from their bios it sounds like it’s going to be a tough competition.
Read on for the full Great British Bake Off 2022 line-up.
