GREAT BRITISH BAKE ON

C4 show survives chop after monarch’s death

THE Great British Bake Off has survived the TV upheaval after the Queen’s death.

Many programmes have been delayed or cancelled in the wake of the nation’s immense loss.

There is doubt if Strictly Come Dancing’s planned launch on Saturday will go ahead as the Queen’s funeral is two days later.

And today there will be special editions of Songs of Praise, Countryfile and Antiques Roadshow.

But GBBO, whose former winner Nadiya Hussain baked the Queen a birthday cake for her 90th, is back on Channel 4 on Tuesday.

A batch of 12 new contestants will try to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith by producing 12 mini cakes, alongside other challenges.

Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding are once again hosting the hugely popular baking show. And on

Friday, Channel 4 launched the new series of Gogglebox, saying it would bring a “valuable sense of continuity” for many viewers.

But the channel has made “significant changes” to offer an alternative for viewers, which it feels is “particularly important at times like this”.

An episode of its chat show The Last Leg was cancelled as its host Adam Hills said it “didn’t feel right”.

Following Her Majesty’s death, many broadcasters have shown rolling news interspersed with almost constant content related to the late monarch.

Yesterday, BBC One were airing national and regional news shows between programmes including Picturing Elizabeth: Her Life In Images, The Queen And Us: 50s, The Queen And Us: 60s, and Elizabeth: The Unseen Queen.

Sir David Attenborough’s Frozen Planet II is on tonight at 8pm.
