Who is competing in the upcoming season of The Great British Bake-Off?

The Great British Bake-Off will have a new host this season, Alison Hammon. Recently, she shared the exciting news with her fans on social media, mentioning:

"Well, do you know what? I'm absolutely thrilled. I'm gonna be meeting the bakers very soon. I'm joining the Great British Bake Off. I'm so very excited. All my colleagues are absolutely speechless."

She will host the upcoming season of The Great British Bake-Off alongside Noel Fielding. Furthermore, Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood are the judges for season 14. The upcoming season will also see several talented contestants, including Abbi, Amos, Cristy, Dan, Dana, Josh, Keith, Matty, Nicky, Rowan, Saku, and Tasha.

In a recent interview with The Guardian, Noel Fielding, the host of The Great British Bake-Off, revealed the following about the upcoming season:

“It takes you by surprise, this show. You get caught up and before you know it, you’re taking care of the bakers. It’s pastoral care as much as presenting. The bakers all become close friends so when one leaves, it rocks them. The tent becomes crazily emotional. We end up living through their bakes, willing them to do well. Well, except Paul.”

Additionally, Paul Hollywood provided the following information:

“It’s lovely to see the bakers develop but it does get emotional. You have to remember that no matter how good they are, they’re amateurs. They practise like mad all week at home – getting their kids to bed, then baking until 2am. Do a bad bake in the tent and it’s no wonder it wobbles them.”

In the previous season of The Great British Bake-Off, Dr. Syabira Yusoff won after competing against Abdul Sharif and Sandro Farmhouse. In addition to watching contestants compete for the title, fans will also be able to enjoy delicious recipes during this season.


UK viewers can watch the latest season of The Great British Bake-Off on Channel 4 on September 26, 2023, while US viewers can view it on Netflix on Friday, September 29.
