The Great British Bake Off (identified Stateside as The Great British Baking Show, as a result of we’re humorous that method) has discovered a alternative for Matt Lucas.
Alison Hammond, of ITV’s This Morning — and a contender on a 2020 celeb version of the baking competitors — is about to hitch Noel Fielding as co-host subsequent season.
Hammond confirmed the information (first leaked by the UK’s Daily Mirror) with a tweeted video of miniature fashions of herself, Fielding and judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith, all made out of icing.
“It’s Official! It’s happening The Great British Bake Off!” she wrote. “Let’s have it – The cake that is 🤣 So excited.”

In addition to vying within the celeb version of The Great British Bake Off, Hammond’s across-the-pond reality-TV experiences embrace appearances on Strictly Come Dancing and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, and judging the BBC version of I Can See Your Voice.
Fielding responded to the information by way of a reply to Hammond’s Instagram publish, saying, “Congratulations and welcome to the tent lovely!! We are gonna have an absolute blast together. I can’t wait. I’m buzzing. Two naughty kids together 🙂 x x x.x The bakers will love you.”
Matt Lucas introduced his exit from the baking competitors (which streams Stateside on Netflix) again in December, sayimg, “It’s been a scrumptious expertise and I can’t think about a extra enjoyable strategy to spend my summers, but it surely’s turn into clear to me that I can’t current each Fantasy Football League and Bake Off alongside all my different initiatives. So, after three [seasons] and 51 episodes, I’m cheerfully passing the baguette on to another person.
“I would like to give my warmest thanks and gratitude to everyone at Love Productions and Channel 4 and to [Noel], Paul, Dame Prue, the crew and, of course, the wonderful bakers for welcoming me into the tent,” Lucas continued. “I wish whoever takes over all the very best and I can’t wait to tune into the next series without already knowing who won!”
