The Great British Bake Off is over for another year and a new champion has been crowned – but it’s never too early to start looking forward to next year.

Casting for the 2022 series has now officially opened, so if you’ve always wanted to take a place in the Bake Off tent, receive a handshake from Paul Hollywood, and laugh at Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas’s corny jokes in person, then it’s your time to shine.

Filming on the next series is set to take place between April and August 2022 and if you can make those dates and want to join the likes of Peter Sawkins, Rahul Mandal and Candice Brown in the Bake Off hall of fame, here’s everything you need to know about applying.
