We may still be in the height of summer, but it’s never too early to get excited about Bake Off, which usually returns to our screens around autumn time. Applications for the 15th series opened last October, meaning another instalment of the perennially popular baking show is definitely on the cards. So what do we know so far about Great British Bake Off 2024?

Who Will Be The Presenters & Judges?

In 2023, Alison Hammond joined as the show’s new presenter, alongside Noel Fielding. Although nothing has been confirmed, it’s thought the two will return for 2024. It’s looking like judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood will also be returning, despite Leith having stepped down from the celebrity version. ‘I’m still doing The Great American Baking Show,’ she said. ‘I’m still doing The Great British Bake Off, the two main shows of Bake Off. What I’m not doing this year is the celebrity one.’

What Happens On Great British Bake Off?

Bake Off is one of the UK’s most popular baking TV shows. Over the course of 10 episodes, it sees a line-up of amateur bakers competing to take home the crown, taking part in a series of increasingly difficult challenges. Each week, contestants are given three challenges based around a theme: a signature bake, a technical challenge and a show-stopper.
