Great British Bake Off made a triumphant return to our screens last week, with a fresh batch of budding bakers ready to battle it out to be crowned this year's winner. Avid GBBO fans might have noticed that the show's famous white baking tent was in a different location to the last couple of years, and it's been revealed why. Although to some newer fans of the show, the scene might seem brand new, but in actual fact, filming of the show has returned to Welford Park in Berkshire - a Grade-I listed stately home - in the grounds of which it was originally filmed from 2014 to 2019.
Covid restrictions in 2020 and 2021 meant that the contestants, judges and presenters, including Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas, had to enter a 'bubble' in the lead up to filming. Due to Down Hall in Essex being more accommodating when it came to filming under these restrictions, Great British Bake Off moved there temporarily. One person who was thrilled about its return to its old home in Welford Park is judge Paul Hollywood.
He told the Express: "I love filming at Welford and we've been away for a couple of years. "I sat on the grass, not far from the tents. It's a very reflective place and Bake Off's been a big part of my life for quite a while now.
It's lovely being back. I felt totally chilled out and relaxed." Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas are back presenting this year's show, whilst baking pros Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will be judging the efforts of the amateur bakers. The show's return to TV was welcomed last week, after many scheduled programmes including the return of Strictly Come Dancing, were changed to accommodate for round-the-clock coverage of the Queen's death.

Matt Lucas has undergone a dramatic transformation that has seen the star shed several pounds, leaving The Great British Bake Off fans stunned. However, despite the 48-year-old initially putting his weight gain down to eating too many of the sweet treats on offer in the white tent, there appears to be a much more heartbreaking reason behind it. In 2009 Matt's ex husband Kevin McGee tragically died by suicide, just ten months after divorcing Matt in High Court.
