Who hosts ‘The Great British Bake Off’?
Since the switch from BBC One to Channel 4, the show has been hosted by the well-loved entertainers Sandi Toksvig (of QI fame) and comedian Noel Fielding, who appear alongside established judge Paul Hollywood and food critic Prue Leith. This year, Matt Lucas of Little Britain fame will be taking over from Sandi Toksvig, who left the show after Season 10.
While the newer seasons may not have nearly as many baking double entendres as in previous seasons, Bake Off never fails to sprinkle a few pastry puns into the mix.

I am very impressed. I have been using your app for months with 0 problems! I now understand better now, the uses and how to avoid nosey people on the Internet, who could find my information and misuse it anywhere, anytime I enter the INTERNET. I thank EXPRESSVPN for their protection and for your explaining on how everything works.
There are no options to connect to a UK server from China, so how can I watch UK channels and live sport which you advertise, for example the Great British Bakeoff, etc. If I try and connect via any of the recommended VPN’s, the viewing platforms I have, notify me I cant watch a specific program because of regional issues, and also the platform knows I’m using a VPN.
So what alternatives am I now left with since Wembley is no longer a VPN option for China users?
Hi Leigh. You should still be able to access UK locations. Try searching for East London or Docklands. If you can’t see them, please contact our Support Team who will be happy to help.
