Remember when The Great British Bake Off left the BBC for Channel 4?
It seems like a long time ago now, but, for a while, no one knew if the transfer would be a success.
However, any fears of the show becoming a big soggy bottom were instantly dismissed after the first episode pulled in a peak audience of 6.78 million viewers, making it a bona fide hit.

The show’s new presenting line- up, consisting of Mighty Boosh star Noel Fielding and QI’s Sandi Toksvig, has proven to be a smash with fans.
Even Paul Hollywood has remained popular after being the only original Bake Off to stay with the show, and his co- judge, Prue Leith, seemed right at home straight away.
Of course, such a loyal fanbase of millions means that whenever something happens on the Bake Off, it becomes pretty big news.
That’s certainly what one contestant has discovered after mentioning she wasn’t married on the show.
Kate Lyons, 29, has baked her way into the show’s final three, going into Tuesday night’s final against Sophie Faldo and Stephen Carter- Bailey.
