After attracting an average of seven million viewers in 2013, Great British Bake Off has been moved from BBC Two to primetime BBC One when it airs on 6th August.
There will also be an Apprentice: You’re Fired style spin-off called The Great British Bake Off – An Extra Slice, which will be hosted by Jo Brand, following the main show on BBC Two.
It will feature a panel of celebrity fans reviewing the week’s episode as well as an interview with the eliminated baker.
The contestants will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of previous winners Edd Kimber (2010), Joanne Wheatley (2011), John Waite (2012) and Frances Quinn (2013).
