The Great new Year’s Bake Off

7.40pm Channel 4

Noel Fielding, Sandi Toksvig, Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood have shaken off the excesses of Christmas to return to the famous Bake Off tent.

They are joined by a number of past contestants, including Kate Henry from the 2014 series, Dr Tamal from 2015, 2016 winner Candice, and finalist Steven from 2017, who are all hoping to take home the coveted title of Festive Star Baker.

As innuendoes about tarts and nuts abound, the baking-mad gang get a special treat when they are joined by

The London Gay Men’s Chorus.
