Big changes are reported to be under way as filming starts of the next season of Great British Bake Off. As well as a new host, the challenges and bakes will be overhauled in a 'back to basics' revamp.
The boss of the production company that makes GBBO said the last season was 'not their strongest' and asked whether the challenges were too hard. Viewing numbers for the final dropped from 7.2million in 2021 to 5.2million last year.
Host Matt Lucas has quit and will be replaced with a new face alongside Noel Fielding. One insider told The Mirror: “There is a realisation last year’s show didn’t really work. We’re going to strip it back to basics, with a few twists.”
