Following on from the Sound of Music-themed trailer that debuted recently, we now know when the Great British Bake Off is coming back.
The hit BBC baking show is gearing up for its sixth series, with judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood and presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins returning, testing the skills of a handful of amateur bakers.
Now the BBC have confirmed that the show is coming to the small screen in just two weeks’ time – the first episode will air on Wednesday August 5.
