Beware those soggy-bottoms, GBBO is back — and promises to be smuttier than ever.
The first episode of the 2016 series screens on Wednesday and is likely to be watched by up to 15 million people.
Yes, 15 million. That really is one in every four people across the UK.

But has the smut become too much? The only way to find out is to tune in.
The Bake-Off starts on Wednesday, at 8pm on BBC1.
