What is the theme on Great British Bake Off this week and what time is it on?

Channel 4's popular baking competition continues tonight (October 4) as the remaining contestants take on three brand new challenges in week four. Last Tuesday saw the home bakers tasked with bread week, as they were judged on two pizzas in the signature challenge, pain aux raisins in the technical and a showstopping Smorgastarta.

For the second time this series, 34-year-old personal assistant Janusz was crowned Star Baker. There were a few changes in usual proceedings last week though, as host Matt Lucas announced at the start of the show that Rebs and Abdul were feeling “under the weather” and would return to compete in the next instalment.

The good news was that because of the absences no one left the show, and the competition continues this week. Here are all the details on tonight's show, as a brand new theme is introduced, and what time it will air:

What is the theme on The Great British Bake off week four?

In the episode broadcasting on Tuesday, October 4 from 8pm, the remaining contestants take on Mexican Week - a Great British Bake Off first. Channel 4 have said the bakers will take on "three challenges exploring authentic Mexican bakes".

They'll be tasked with putting their own twist on sweet bread pan dulce in the signature challenge before creating a Mexican street food staple in the technical. In the showstopper they'll need to make a version of the milk-soaked tres leches cake.

The Great British Bake is currently airing each Tuesday on Channel 4 from 8pm. You can stream the series so far over on All 4.
