If the show follows its usual schedule, the bakers will be whittled down to the final three for week 10, at which point the finalists will battle it out to see whose scone is the one and whose cream is supreme.

Last year’s season ran from 21st September to 23rd November, with Chigs, Crystelle and Giuseppe making it all the way to the final. In the end, it was Giuseppe who was named Ultimate Star Baker and lifted the glass cake stand.
At the time of his win, Giuseppe said: “I feel it’s been a great year for Italy. I truly can’t believe it or take it in, this has made me so incredibly happy to be a Britalian. Dell’Anno is my surname which translates in English to ‘of the year’ – and I feel this has certainly has been my year.”
This year’s line-up of bakers has yet to be announced, but we’re sure more details will be revealed in due to course as we head towards the start date in a couple of weeks.
