The Great British Bake Off 2025 judges
Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith are back at the helm once more, and nothing quite says The Great British Bake Off like those two.
Hollywood has been judge for 15 years, but he doesn't hold the bakers to a higher standard because of it.
He told Channel 4: "The standard’s still the same, but the standard of baking overall since series one has got better and better.
"That’s not to take anything away from the bakers in series one, they were of their time, but the baking has improved. The challenges are a little more tricky. But they’ve all risen to the challenge and created things that have been really incredible."
