The greatest comfort TV show — and apparently, one of the best Netflix shows to fall asleep to — is back this fall. “The Great British Baking Show” (better known as “The Great British Bake Off” in the U.K.) returns this week and promises to be more dramatic than ever.
In anticipation of the season 15 premiere, an anonymous inside source told The Mirror that one baker was forced to leave the Tent before the first episode finished filming. The baker, who took part in the opening challenge, later dropped out of the competition due to illness. Host Alison Hammond said the baker would be missing from the rest of the episode, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be out for good. The baker will return next week in episode two.
