BBC programme Britain’s Best Home Cook was branded a ‘rip off’ and ‘cheap copy’ of The Great British Bake Off as it returned for a new series.
The show, which got underway last night (02.01.20), is fronted by Strictly Come Dancing favourite Claudia Winkleman and sees 10 home cooks compete against each other in a series of culinary challenges.

The format features the contestants all living in a big shared house as they whip up meals to be assessed by three judges, including former GBBO star Mary Berry.
In the first episode, the cooks had to create their ultimate pasta dish and another based on a piece of fruit.
A number of viewers enjoyed the opening episode, with one on Twitter writing, “I loved #besthomecook last year! I’m so glad it’s back!” and another tweeting, “Brilliant – easy to watch and lovely to see Mary back”.
