Four bakers return for the Christmas special (Channel 4)
The Great Christmas Bake Off will feature four viewer favourites returning to the tent for a festive special.
Among those hoping to take home the festive trophy are aeronautical engineer Andrew Smyth and Flo Atkins, who earned the title of oldest contestant ever when she appeared on last year’s series, aged 71.
Smyth and Andrews will be joined by 2016 finalist Jane Beedle and Liam Charles, whose positive demeanour made him a fan favourite in the 2017 series of the Channel 4 show.

Presenters Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding also return to the tent as the pair cause hilarity with a collection of festive puns and innuendos.
