The Great British Bake Off returned to our screens on Tuesday night, marking Alison Hammond’s debut as co-host – and viewers have given their verdict on her new gig. 

The This Morning star joined fellow presenter Noel Fielding and judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith in the iconic white tent to welcome a fresh batch of hopeful bakers to the competition.

Viewers took to Twitter, now X, to share their thoughts on Alison’s introduction to the popular Channel 4 programme – and it’s safe to say the Birmingham-born star went down a storm with fans.

One person wrote: “Alison Hammond is the best best best thing to happen to GBBO since the move to channel four. I am so PLEASED. This series is off to a flying start. #GBBO2023,” while another added: “Alison Hammond has really bought some sunshine and joy to the tent! Love her so much #GBBO.”

A third person commented: “So happy @BritishBakeOff is back and absolutely adore Alison Hammond,” while another tweeted: “#GBBO was an absolute joy tonight. Alison Hammond looks as if she’s been in the tent for years, and clearly loving it. A great bunch of bakers this year, should be a cracking series.”

Alison took over from comedian Matt Lucas, who announced his departure from the show in December last year after three seasons.

Matt, who joined the show in 2020, attributed his decision to his busy schedule. “But it’s become clear to me that I can’t present both Fantasy Football League and Bake Off alongside all my other projects,” he said in a statement. “So, after three series and 51 episodes, I am cheerfully passing the baguette on to someone else.”

Here’s the full line-up:

Abbi, 27, who is a vegetable grower and delivery driver from Cumbria

Episode one saw the bakers faced with a series of tricky tasks, including making a vertical layer cake for the Signature challenge, and for the Technical, recreating the iconic Bake Off cake – the raspberry-topped gateau which is seen at the end of the show’s opening credits.

As for the Showstopper, the contestants were asked to produce a cake shaped and decorated like an animal, with some of the designs including a tahini-flavoured Robin and a beaver named Norman.
