The Great British Bake Off 2024 first look shows bakers rushing to impress Paul and Prue

As a seasoned viewer of The Great British Bake Off, I eagerly await the return of this delightful show to our screens every year. The 2024 season promises to be as exciting and nerve-wracking as ever, with a fresh batch of talented bakers ready to impress (or confound) the judges with their creations.


It appears that the baking competition inside The Great British Bake Off tent will remain just as tense during the 2024 season, which starts airing on Channel 4 this week – and here’s a sneak peek of the organized chaos!

Tonight, a fresh set of contestants for The Bake Off competition will unveil themselves to viewers. They’ll strive to create extraordinary loaf cakes and, in an intriguing twist, attempt to construct illusions using cakes that resemble reality so closely, they might confound the judges.

Longtime fans of Bake Off will recognize the common mistakes shown in this humorous one-minute video.

Participants can be observed hurrying within the tent, trying to complete as many of their creations as time allows, with the clock ticking down to zero.

The internal temperature within the tent poses a challenge, as it frequently hinders intricate cooking recipes or designs involving cooling, given that Bake Off is taped during the peak of summer.

Among the competitors, a 29-year-old farmer named Mike finds himself somewhat discombobulated, even humorously considering abandoning the contest for a more serene pastime like creating floral arrangements. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that he can surprise us with his skills in the upcoming episode.

After all, the stakes are high, with no one wanting to be the first contestant eliminated.

In anticipation for the new season, Bake Off co-host Noel Fielding shared with The Guardian, “I’ve always found it enjoyable spending time with the bakers. I manage to build friendships with them and bring out their stories. People didn’t expect that to be one of my talents.

Initially, I thought it was the drawings and joking around that would capture my interest. However, what truly captivates me is the group of individuals themselves. I find myself feeling a strong sense of care towards them. If Paul or Prue are harsh with them, I become extremely upset. It’s heartbreaking when they decide to depart.

He added: “This year I was particularly fond of one baker. When I had to send them home, I cried.”

In this scenario, Alison Hammond joins forces with the actor known for his role as Dick Turpin, taking turns in the hosting position. Meanwhile, the judging panel is once again graced by Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith, who scrutinize the bakers’ creations with their discerning eyes.

The Great British Bake Off premieres on Channel 4 at 8pm on Tuesday 24th September 2024.
