Who do you think will replace Sandi Toksvig ?

Oh no is she leaving? I hadn't read about that. What a pity, I love her in everything she does.

She and Noel work together so well, but I love the way she is with the contestants - funny but compassionate and supportive too.

The campaign starts here for Richard Ayoade as he and Noel work so well together on Big Fat Quiz, but I bet he's too busy.

I like the guy who judges on Junior Bake Off (Danny I think? One of the previous winners) but yes it's about finding a good partner for Noel. I find him a bit annoying at times (when he's been silly around someone who is obviously stressed).

Sky news reported it on their app.

I liked Sandi and wondered about Richard Ayoade (Mighty Boosh connection with Noel) but I don't think he'd be a good fit. He never interacts well with people on Crystal Maze so hope he doesn't get chosen to replace Sandi.

Noel is great but I loved Sandi, they were great presenters together.

I think jo brand would be good

No, please not Davina.

Richard Osman perhaps ?

And x posted, yes to Jo Brand

Ohhh God, not Richard Ayoade, please - I cannot stand him.

I second (third) Jo Brand. Or possibly Ed Byrne.

I can't bear Richard Ayoade. Smug and clever-clever. Maybe Jo Brand. Kathy Burke has ruled herself out but she would be a laugh. Or Claudia Winkleman. So good with contestants, warm, witty and original.

Gutted about Sandi. If it's Jo brand I'm not watching anymore I can't stand her

I reckon Susan Calman would make a good job of it.

She would bring a nice blend of witty, but gentle, comedy and supportive encouragement.

Ugh please not jo brand

Susan Calman is a very good call, @CanYouSmellMyCharlie (love the dinnerladies reference too, btw).

Susan Calman is a bit too lightweight, IMO. Yes, I know light and heavyweight are relative terms in the context of GBBO! I just don't think she's got the comedy heft.

I hope it's not Jo band or Nadia,we don't need another baker on it.

I would like Claudia Winkleman, she has a natural warmth with contestants like on Britains Best Home Cook.

My votes are for Jo Brand, Susan Calman or Sarah Millican.

Anyone who can stand up to that Hollywood twit

OOOh yes Sarah Millican

Noooo if Sarah Millican was on it I could never watch it again, I feel the same about Davina.
Claudia is lovely on the Sewing Bee

Claudia doesn't do Sewing Bee anymore. Joe Lycett does it now

What about Victoria Coren Mitchell? Bright, funny, looks like she appreciates cake.

Oh yes, I like VCM. Nice, dry sense of humour
