What could be a more comforting way to nursing a hangover after New Year’s Eve than to tune in to some uplifting TV – The Great British Bake Off?
Not only does tonight’s episode of the series on Channel 4 feature an episode full of the typical fun that can be found in the renowned tent, but it also gives viewers the opportunity to watch some of their favourite bakers return to the competition.
On The Great New Year Bake Off 2023, hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas will be joined by judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith to welcome back four previous contestants who have previously appeared on the show.
It would appear that this will be Matt’s last appearance on the programme given that he just recently stated he will be departing his role as one of the co-hosts.
Who exactly is going to be taking part in the competition that will celebrate the beginning of the new year?
