The 11th season of the show took place mid pandemic in 2020. The contestants bubbled up at Down Hall Hotel near Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire after self-isolating and testing negative for coronavirus. This year’s competition will also take place within a bubble for safety purposes.

According to The Independent, last year’s final saw the largest viewership in the show’s history, with an “audience of 9.2 million viewers”.

The Great British Bake Off airs on Channel 4 at 8pm.

Will you be tuning in this year?
