What to Watch the Week of September 11: The Emmys, The Great British Baking Show, and a Major Daytime TV Shakeup

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 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.

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.

Channel 4 kept fans amused with the return of The Great British Bake Off this week as a new group of bakers took to the famous tent to show off their culinary skills. Over the years, the show has been the catalyst for the birth for some of the nation’s most loved stars, who have racked up legions of fans away from the baking world. While some have changed aplenty since their stint on GBBO, others have had extreme makeovers including one Strictly star and a bodybuilder.

The Great British Bake off made a much welcome return to screens and things got off to an unusual start. Fans of the Channel 4 show have been counting down the days for it to be back on screens after the broadcaster decided to press on with its planned broadcast of the opening episode of the series on Tuesday night (September 13).
