The Great British Bake Off is back – the internet reacts to the new series line-up
The Great British Bake Off is coming back to Channel 4 and today the show’s 13 (baker’s dozen, see?) contestants were unveiled.
Here they come, rolling up their sleeves. They bake the tastiest treats, for everyone they meet. Hey, hey, it’s the bakers! And Series 10 is coming around! #GBBO. Tuesday 27th August. 8pm. pic.twitter.com/D9KYRsIaaF

It’s got people even more excited about the new series than they already were – apparently it’s the youngest line-up yet – and here are our favourite things people are saying about it.

No older ladies, I assume this was in Paul's contract?
Seriously though, I like seeing younger people on the show but I also like seeing older people. The beauty of it has always been being able to see different styles of baking and different backgrounds getting along.

We can't unsee this and we're ok with that. @noelfielding11 and @sanditoksvig proved what great sports they are by dressing up as @PaulHollywood and @PrueLeith exclusively for our latest issue! 😂😂😂 #GBBO @BritishBakeOff pic.twitter.com/bAGrmzg5wn
