The Great British Bake Off presenter Noel Fielding has said that the series has gone back to basics this year as the format had become a "bit complicated".
The comedian and host of the Channel 4 cookery competition has been joined on the programme by This Morning presenter Alison Hammond following the departure of Matt Lucas.
50-year-old Fielding, appearing on BBC One’s The One Show with Hammond, said, "We have gone back to basics a little bit.
"I think it got a bit complicated last year and people freaked out, so this year we’ve gone back to some classics."
In the previous season, contestants had faced a three-part picnic which saw them bake their own bread, make an edible sculpture on the theme of "Our Beautiful Planet" and create shortcrust pastry vertical tarts in two hours.
On Tuesday, the show returned for a 14th series with cake week, as twelve amateur bakers hoped to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
Deli and grocery manager Amos was eliminated for failing to impress with his final bake – despite placing second in the technical challenge.
The bakers are going to face biscuit week on the upcoming show on Tuesday's episode, which airs on Channel 4 at 8pm.
