From a 22-year-old software developer to a 67-year-old retired midwife, the class of 2025 is ready to prove their mettle against pastry, prove their patience with patisserie, and withstand the infamous Hollywood handshake.

Judges and Hosts Return for Another Season
Familiar faces will be on hand to guide—and critique—the bakers through their culinary journeys. The formidable duo of Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith return to preside over the judging, ensuring standards remain sky-high.
Providing the laughs and moral support will be the beloved presenting pair, Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond, whose unique brand of humour has become a staple of the show's charm.
Filming for the new series is already underway, with the premiere scheduled for later this year on Channel 4 and its streaming service. The bakers will face a gauntlet of technical challenges, intricate signature bakes, and breathtaking showstoppers, all in the hope of being crowned the UK's best amateur baker.
With a new set of personalities, baking styles, and inevitable drama, the 2025 season of The Great British Bake Off is shaping up to be unmissable television.
