About the Show
Amateur bakers compete in a tent over weekly bakes, with judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith, until one is crowned the winner.
The Bake Off Factor
Amateur bakers work through a signature bake, a technical challenge and a showstopper each week. One baker leaves every week and a Star Baker is named, until a winner is crowned in the final.
