The dynamic duo is back. Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will once again be handholding our celebrities through their Bake Off journey, and more than likely causing some mischief along the way.

Paul Hollywood remains a part of the Bake Off fabric, but Dame Prue Leith has taken a step back, with her close friend and previous co-owner of Leith's School of Food and Wine, Caroline Waldegrave OBE stepping in for the special. Worry not, though, Prue will be returning for the main series later in the year.
