The Great British Bake Off returned to Channel 4 in triumphant style last night (Tuesday September 21).
But while millions rejoiced at its return, some had the same complaint about the show.
What happened on The Great British Bake Off last night?
A new batch of bakers took to the tent, as well as judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
Co-host Noel Fielding wore an amazing jumper (as he always does), and there was some spectacular baking on show right from the get-go.

Jürgen even brought a spanner in with him to help with his concoctions.
And he needed it too – the bakers were tasked with making an ‘anti-gravity’ cake for the showstopper challenge.
Who did well… and who didn’t?
Freya and Crystelle were amazing and bossed the challenge.
But poor Tom – who became the first baker to be eliminated – admitted his showstopper was a “disaster”.
However, despite some major baking fails – hello Amanda and Chigs – viewers had one complaint about the first episode.
The bakers were a bit too professional.
I LOVE #GBBO but it is getting a bit professional. It used to be about home bakes. Those elevated cakes are not what your average home baker would be making

#GBBO used to be so humble and home-baker like. Now it just seems way too advanced. Take me back to the early seasons when it was humble and messy and the bakes were just simple but yummy.

Catching up on #GBBO and these showstopper challenges are too much. This isn’t home baking.

Another surmised: “#GBBO used to be so humble and home-baker like.
