Great British Bake Off WILL air later this year as show returns to filming

THE Great British Bake Off has returned to filming and is expected to air later this year.

PAUL Hollywood, 54, Prue Leith, 80, Noel Fielding, 47, and new presenter Matt Lucas, 46, were all quarantined in the run-up along with cast and crew.

They are believed to be in a different location from the usual tent at Welford Park, Berks.

Love Productions’ parent company Sky Studios confirmed filming of the Channel 4 show was “going very well”.

Its chief commercial officer Jane Millichip said: "It’s all happening in deep secret"

"Somewhere in darkest deepest Britain in the shires.”

Asked when it would air, she said: “You will have your Victoria sponge this year.”

Chief executive Gary Davey said: “There was a lot of work between Love Productions and our Covid team to get that right.”

Filming was due to start in April.
