The Great British Bake Off is just hours away from starting on Channel 4 but has been flying under the radar – so let us fill you in on 2024’s cohort of bakers. The beloved baking show has become a staple in the UK and each year fans enjoy week after week of naughty innuendos , soggy bottoms, and ridiculously difficult challenges . This year is set to be no different as a dozen new bakers enter the tent and battle to win the Bake Off cake stand and kudos for being a champion – as there’s no prize money involved .
They will be vying to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith with the support of presenters Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond . Among the bakers for 2024 are a palliative care nurse, a student on her gap year and a dad who moved to Yorkshire in the 80s after growing up in the Bronx. The line-up has already delighted fans – who are preparing to cancel all their autumn plans to support their favourite contestant in the famous white tent.
