What else is there to know about the new series of the Great British Bake Off?
Bake Off, which is filmed at Down Hall Hotel in Essex, was one of the shows that got the nation through various lockdowns. The programme was able to go ahead safely while keeping in line with government guidelines regarding the coronavirus pandemic.
Channel 4 bosses ensured the contestants, presenters and judges remained in their "bubbles" all week to prevent infection from spreading. This meant that the cast was away from their families for weeks while filming.
Luckily, things are back to normal for this year's show and the contestants were allowed to mix and go home to their families during the week while filming took place at the weekends.
