A contestant on the beloved baking competition, The Great British Bake Off, will unfortunately be missing from the upcoming season's premiere episode. This will be the 15th season of the show, which first aired in 2010 and quickly gained a devoted following for its cheeky jokes, baking disasters, and tough challenges.
Fans of the show have been eagerly awaiting its return to screens, with judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith, along with presenters Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond, all set to make their comeback. However, it seems that one of the 12 contestants will not have the opportunity to showcase their baking skills from the start.
During the premiere episode, Alison reveals to the other contestants that one of them is feeling unwell and will not be able to participate for the rest of the episode. This means that the remaining 11 bakers will have to work extra hard to avoid being eliminated. The missing contestant is reportedly sick and had to sit out the first day of filming, according to a source.
In addition to this unfortunate turn of events, the premiere episode will also feature another contestant receiving the coveted "Hollywood handshake" from judge Paul after impressing him with their signature bake. Among the 2024 bakers are a palliative care nurse, a student on a gap year, and a father who moved to Yorkshire from the Bronx.
One of the contestants competing for the title of champion is 53-year-old Gill from Lancashire. Host Noel, who has been a part of the show since 2017, recently shared some hilarious behind-the-scenes stories from the upcoming season. He described co-host Alison as a "klutz" and shared an incident where she fell out of a hammock and off a workbench while showing off. But don't worry, she was unharmed.
Noel also teased that this season will be a "belter" and praised the talented bakers in the tent, saying that the standard keeps getting higher every year. He even went as far as to say that this season's contestants are "way better than they should be for their age" and that it's one of the best seasons yet.
The Agency has reached out to Channel 4 for comment on the missing contestant, but has yet to receive a response. Fans can tune in to the season premiere tonight at 8pm on Channel 4. And if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures to share, you can contact the entertainment team at The Agency via email, phone, or by visiting their Submit Stuff page.
