Ready, Set, Bake! It's time to watch The Great British Baking Show 2021 online. The big white tent welcomes 12 new home bakers from across the UK who will face a series of challenges that will require them to create cakes, cookies, breads and other tempting and delicious treats.

Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Reese will be back to taste and judge the finished baked goods. Matt Lucas returns as presenter and is joined by Noel Fielding, who missed the Christmas special due to maternity leave.

The 12 contestants range in age from 19 to 70 and come from a variety of backgrounds and professions, including a Metropolitan Police detective, an IT professional, a student, and a retired nurse (see full contestant list below). Due to the ongoing pandemic, the film was filmed in a bubble, as were last year's contestants.
