The Great British Bake Off will be back for a new season in September. The first teaser was released last week and confirmed the return of host Noel Fielding after previous rumours of his departure.
Channel 4 has yet to confirm the exact date the doors to the tent will be flung open again but it has now revealed the cast for 2025. It includes a huge range of bakers from across the British Isles including a self-proclaimed ‘Yeastie Boy’.
The Great British Bake Off’s spin-off Bake Off: The Professionals recently crowned its winners for 2025. Find out more about the final here.
Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood will soon be casting their distinguished and discerning eyes over the creations from 12 new bakers. Meet the cast for The Great British Bake Off 2025 here.
See when GBBO could start based on previous years. Find out more.
9. Toby - Warwickshire - eliminated
29-year-old business development executive Toby is heading into the Bake Off tent. Currently three years in to his “six month” home DIY renovation project, Toby and his girlfriend Syd now live in Warwickshire with their rescue dog Bex - having been born in Sidmouth. Toby takes a stripped-back, healthy approach to baking, and tends to lean more towards classic recipes and flavours as he believes they are classics for a reason! But it’s bread that is his real passion, baking something different every day. Toby was the ninth baker to leave - and just missed out on the final | Channel 4 Photo: Channel 4
10. Aaron - London
38-year-old Aaron lives in London with his boyfriend. He is an Senior Systems Architect and is heading into the Great British Bake Off tent. He is "a passionate baker who fuses French patisserie with Caribbean flair". | Channel 4 Photo: Channel 4
11. Jasmine - London
Born and raised in Edinburgh, 23-year-old Jasmine now calls London home. She is a medical student and learnt the basics of bread and cakes through her Mum and aunts. When she’s not in hospital placements, Jasmine’s likely sea swimming, running half marathons or playing hockey for her university team. | Channel 4 Photo: Channel 4
12. Tom - London
31-year-old Tom grew up in London and is a creative entrepreneur. As a teen, Tom feared his secret love of baking would out him. Now, a member of two queer sports teams and with a boyfriend of three years, the game may be up. Tom grew up in a food obsessed family and when not working you can find him fishing for Sea Bass with his brother, foraging for mushrooms and cooking roasts with his dad. | Channel 4 Photo: Channel 4
