FIRST LOOK The Great British Bake Off 2026

Nigella Lawson will make her Bake Off debut this September!

As The Great British Bake Off celebrates 16 years on our screens, Channel 4 has confirmed that filming has now wrapped on the new series, and together with Love Productions has released the first image of the new line-up.

Taken on the very first day of filming and Nigella’s first ever day in the tent, it marks the beginning of a new chapter with judges Paul Hollywood and Nigella Lawson alongside hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding together in the iconic Bake Off tent.

Following January’s announcement that Nigella Lawson would join the show as judge, the Bake Off foursome have spent the hottest summer together in the tent, with a new intake of bakers rising to each of the challenges.

With filming now complete, viewers can expect to see Nigella bringing her trademark warmth, wit and passion for flavour to the tent, alongside Paul Hollywood and his famously exacting eye for a great bake.

Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding return to guide the bakers and keep them smiling through the thrills, spills and showstoppers in what promises to be a truly delicious series.

The Great British Bake Off is produced by Love Productions for Channel 4 and will air next month.
