The ratings winner is back for its 13th outing and is returning back to its long-running home of Welford Park having been set elsewhere for the past two years as a result of covid restrictions.  

Fans of the long-running show will be delighted to see the show back in its original home with judge Paul admitting it was ’emotional’ to be back. 

He admitted: "I love filming at Welford and we’ve been away for a couple of years,” he explained.

"I sat on the grass, not far from the tents. It’s a very reflective place and Bake Off’s been a big part of my life for quite a while now.
