That’s a huge WHOOP from us!
As usual, the show will follow its usual format – and we wouldn’t want it any other way.
The show’s official Twitter account shared the news on Wednesday September 8 2021.
Alongside a photo of the two judges and two hosts, the post said: “Bake a date in your diaries – we’re back! #GBBO.”
Fans were thrilled, with one replying: “Oh Glory Halleluiah! #GBBO.”
Another said: “I’ve never been more excited for anything ever.”
Praise indeed!
A third cooed: “I’m so excited. I was missing Noel’s shirts.”
It will be the show’s 12th series.
