Alison Hammond joins Noel Fielding, Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith as The Great British Bake Off returns to Channel 4 for a brand new series.

Over the next 10 weeks, 12 of the best amateur bakers in Britain will whisk, knead, ice, beat and bake their way through classic British cakes, perfect patisserie, Italian delights, sticky caramel constructions and elaborate layered puddings.

All Twelve will be hoping to impress with their skill, creativity, knowledge and passion and clinch the Bake off Crown. Each of the 30 new challenges have been carefully designed by judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith to reveal just who is a star baker.

The first week in the tent is cake week with judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith presenting three challenges for the bakers to attempt. First up, they must make a perfect vertical layer cake, then create an iconic chocolate cake for the technical challenge.

The showstopper challenge will see the bakers attempt a sponge-based cake featuring animals. Who will be the first Star Baker of the series and who will be first to leave the tent?

The Great British Bake Off returns Tuesday 26th September at 8pm on Channel 4.
