“The Great British Baking Show” Season 10 is here – and as one contestant says, “The stress is real.” The 12 new bakers competing this season and hoping to impress judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood are Abdul, Carole, Dawn, James, Janusz, Kevin, Maisam, Maxy, Rebs, Sandro, Syabira and Will. (Head here for their full bios.) As usual, the bakers’ dozen will head to the white tent to face 30 brand-new challenges over 10 weeks, which span cakes, dessert sandwiches, a classic American cake and a “show-stopping” home bake.The reality competition show, which has spanned 13 seasons overall and 10 “collections” on Netflix, will also see the return of hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas.
For the uninitiated, each hour-long episode includes three parts: a signature challenge that requires bakers to whip up their own interpretation of a dish on the fly, a technical challenge where bakers must concoct the same surprise recipe and a showstopper challenge (which is, well, self-explanatory). One contestant is eliminated each week, and the winner is selected from the contestants who reach the finals.“The Great British Baking Show” is produced by Love Productions, with executive producers Letty Kavanagh, Richard McKerrow, Kieran Smith and Jenna Mansfield.
The new season will premiere Sept. 16 on Netflix, with new episodes airing every Friday.

Fans of The Great British Bake Off are feeling a bit of dread after Dame Prue Leith confirmed a twist is looming after a huge change was made during the latest episode. The hit Channel 4 show was back on screens on Tuesday night (September 27) for episode three.
Matt Lucas was quick to explain what was going on after two bakers went missing from the famous tent on the latest episode of The Great British Bake Off. The hit Channel 4 show is now in its third week with Matt and co-host Noel Fielding back to keep the competitor's company and viewers amused.
Great British Bake Off's bread week was left in chaos as two budding baking hopefuls were forced to pull out of filming. Both Rebs and Abdul will not take part in this week's challenge due to "feeling under the weather", meaning they are still guaranteed a place in the show next week, despite neither winning 'Star Baker' so far in this year's series.
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.
Channel 4 hit with Paul Hollywood. And if the dates work well, her one-woman show will go on a bigger tour next year. Dame Prue said: “I’m going to try out one-woman shows in Los Angeles and New York and then I’m going to do the same in England in Bath and Leamington Spa.
The Great British Bake Off is back!
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.

While some have changed aplenty since their stint on GBBO, others have had extreme makeovers including one Strictly star and a bodybuilder.
