The Great British Bake Off: Meet the new bakers

What time is Bake Off on tonight?
Once again the bakers will be put to the test with a signature challenge, a technical and the ultimate showstopper each week.
For cake week, they will need to make 12 identical mini cakes, which the judges will test for uniformity.
They will then need to work out the recipe for a seemingly familiar sponge, but as is the case with most technicals, it is not likely to be an easy feat.
For the showstopper, the bakers will be making a cake resembling a house that means a lot to them.
The 90-minute episode will start at 8pm on Channel 4 and will run until 9.30pm.

Channel 4 recently announced the show would still be airing after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Since she died on September 8, networks have changed their programme schedules to make way for special reports.

Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will return, accompanied by hosts Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding.
Paul teased some brand-new challenges this year, including Mexican week and custard week.
Maisam is this year's youngest baker, with the 18-year-old student hailing from Manchester.
