It’s back! 22+ tweets about the new series of Bake Off

Tuesday nights are once again far better than a Tuesday night should have the right to be, because the Great British Bake Off is back on our screens.

Cakes, Noel Fielding’s outfits, the iconic tent, Matt Lucas’s impressions, cakes, Paul Hollywood’s rare handshakes, cakes, baking disasters and triumphs, Pru’s obsession with booze – and, of course, cakes. What more could you want?

This is 2021’s group of contestants. You just know you’re going to connect with at least one of them and be devastated when – or if – they get kicked out of the tent on the way.

The show began with a bake-themed parody of Billy Ray Cyrus’s Achy Breaky Heart, which confirmed all our suspicions that Paul Hollywood was meant to rock a mullet – business at the front, party at the back.

Viewers immediately spotted Pru’s stunt double, in the shape of contestant Maggie.

The judges lulled the bakers into a false sense of security with the fairly straightforward mini rolls signature challenge, before asking them to bake a malt loaf and *checks notes* make their own butter. The less said about the anti-gravity cakes, the better.

These are the best tweets we saw about that all-important first show.
