The Bake Is Back - the countdown to Great British Bake Off 2026 starts here

[GetSetFake]

Trailer for the new series just dropped - no transmission date yet though.

Anyone else excited to see how Nigella gets on as the new judge? A worthy successor to Pru and Mary, I think.

So - no elimination this week, two to go next week?

Been taken ill

Loving Nigella, she is my celebrity crush! I have to say I won’t miss Danni when she goes, and I don’t think I will have to wait long. Less is more Danni, tone it down. Haven’t learned many other names yet , but like the young hairdresser and the older man.

Yes, I don't get this? I'm not a skilled baker at all but even I know you put a cake INTO a hot oven. How would you not notice?

Yanis is annoying me there

It's been part of music-hall and burlesque for hundreds of years, And it should stay there and not be on cakes or anywhere else.

Sorry, I blinked - who's gone home?

I dont know, myself she wouldn't be an older woman Id go for.

@CrushingOnRubies Do they have a dedicated shoe budget?!🤣 I suppose Nigella might have expected one more than Prue or Mary🤣

Shannon i think her name is. Trifle woman

Has Mo used blackberries for his hair? Genius!

I also agree. As does DH

Can it be buttercream without butter though?

Even if something's been around forever, it doesn't mean it's acceptable now. Slavery? Children up chimneys? Women not having the vote?

No

Omg there goes a cake

Two splats in one week

Show’s 🙈🙈🙈

We’re talking about cakes for goodness sake!

Just saying junior bake off is truly wonderful and joyous

If there is an elimination tonight her of the toppled cake is likely going. She's not done well at all today.

Kinda my point, but I didn't make it well.

God Danni's cake 😯 it looks like something the celebs make for the Stand Up To Cancer Bake Offs! I don't think it falling to the floor was a great loss......😶

You use a vegetable spread and trex to give more substance. It's okay.

Couldn’t they have saved it instead of filming it going?!
