The Great British Bake Off will return to TV screens on Tuesday 13 September with a new batch of amateur bakers.

Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will return alongside presenters Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding in the show's famous tent for another series of signature, technical and showstopper bakes.

The fan-favourite baking show returns in the same week as the launch of the new series of Strictly Come Dancing in what is set to be a bumper week of TV.

On Twitter, Channel 4 said: "Are you bready for brand new Bake Off? #GBBO returns Tues 13th September at 8pm."

Announcing the start date, the British Bake Off twitter account also said: "In knead of some good news? Here's a little something..."

It shared a selfie of the judges and presenters seemingly on the grounds where the show is filmed.

Last year, amateur baker and chief engineer Giuseppe Dell'Anno from Bristol was the first Italian to take home the top prize.

He saw off competition from Crystelle Pereira and Chigs Parmar in the final episode to win the 12th series of the Channel 4 baking contest.

Both Leith and fellow judge Hollywood said the final was the closest yet - each contestant having received two coveted 'Hollywood handshakes' and two star baker awards during the series.

The final showstopper challenge of 2021 tasked the finalists with creating a Mad Hatter's Tea Party display using both sweet and savoury treats, showcasing a minimum of four baking disciplines.
