We have to admit, after last year's devastating new that the Great British Bake Off would be moving to Channel 4 WITHOUT Mary Berry, Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, we pretty much thought we'd boycott the whole thing.
Then we found out Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding would be hosting the show, and Prue Leith is joining Paul Hollywood as a judge, and we started to show a little more intro.
Curiosity eventually got best of us, and following the release of the new trailer, we actually started to get a little bit excited for GBBO 2.0.
Now, the series 8 contestants have been revealed and we're just about ready to stock up on flour, grease proof paper and various other ingredients we've never actually heard of, so we can attempt to copy this lot's cakey creations.
