Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith reveal what makes this series of Bake Off different from all the rest

The Great British Bake Off 2025 sees 12 more contestants get ready to try to tantalise the taste buds of judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith with their culinary efforts.

Hosted once again by Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding, the 16th season gets underway on Channel 4 in the UK on Tuesday, September 2 and on Netflix in the US – where it is called The Great British Baking Show – from Friday, September 5. And as the competition kicks off with Cake Week, Paul and Prue are putting the new bakers through their paces in the tent with three tough challenges – a swiss roll Signature, fondant fancies for the Technical and a landscape cake for the Showstopper.
