The Great British Bake Off took to their Instagram back on 1st February to confirm two things to fans - The Great Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off will be returning this year, and the much-loved comedian/presenter Noel Fielding is now a blond bombshell, saying, 'Noel's bleached his hair to match Sandi's.'
Fans went wild, with one commenting, 'Yay it's coming back!!' sic, and another saying, 'Noel’s hair 😮😮😮😮' sic.
The Great British Bake Off hasn't been off our screens for too long, with respective Christmas and New Year's specials, which saw past contestants compete against one another.
And who can forget last summer, when the adorable Rahul Mandal captured all of our hearts before being crowned winner of The Great British Bake Off 2018.
