You know we're heading into the winter season when Tuesday night TV takes a turn for the tastier and The Great British Bake Off returns to our screens.
The reality show sees home bakers compete against each other in a bid to win the title of Britain's best amateur baker. Its success and popularity has grown since it started on BBC Two in 2010. The show was moved to Channel 4 in 2017 and the current line up of judges and presenters comprises Prue Leith, Paul Hollywood, Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas.
The season 11 finale set viewing records for Channel 4.
Where and when can we watch Bake Off tonight?
Episode 1 of the 2021 season can be watched at 8pm on Channel 4. If you miss it, you can catch it on the ALL4 app.
