Channel 4 have got fans super excited with the release of the first trailer for this year's series. Accompanied by the Beatles song, 'All Together Now', this fast-actioned news-spoof trailer shows panic buying in the shops as the public grab baking ingredients off the shelves - even causing the stock market to rise!

As the video continues, there are some creative twists on how people make their favourite baked goods and there’s even a special cameo from Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster!

After it's TV premiere last night (30th July), the new trailer has only been on YouTube for a few hours, but already fans are very excited as the prospect of the new series. They have been leaving comments such as, 'I love GBBO but every time I try, I end up spending £10 on ingredients to (very poorly) make what I could buy for £1.50. Here’s to the new series. Cheers.'

The launch date for the new series of The Great British Bake Off has yet to be confirmed, but it will be in the summer as usual.
