CRITICS’ CHOICE
PUT the kettle on and get
the biscuits out as the
much-loved amateur
baking competition
returns for a new series.
Judges Paul Hollywood
and Prue Leith will cast
their eyes over the goods,
while Sandi Toksvig and
lovable oddball Noel
Fielding return to help — or
accidentally hinder — the
hopefuls. There’s an extra
contestant in the tent this
year, making a baker’s dozen
(pictured) and more than
half the contestants are still
in ther 20s and just one over
40 — a sign of how trendy
baking has become. First up
is cake week, and some of
the bakers go nuts making
fruitcake. But you will marvel
at their childhood dream
birthday cake Showstoppers
— they are all truly creative!
