What changes have been made since the move from BBC1?

Apart from the name change, the main difference to the show is the introduction of new hosts. Liam Charles and Tom Allen will be taking over from Angus Deayton, who fronted series two of the show last year.

Liam’s appointment in particular is cause for celebration – the charismatic 20 year-old was by far the most popular contestant on last year’s Bake Off, and we fully expect him to shine as host.

And comedian Tom isn’t a complete stranger to the brand either – he’s previously been a guest on The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice.
