However, if you’re looking to hear a sneaky innuendo about dough balls then you’re in for a treat as Channel 4 is airing an extra special episode of the show tonight (Tuesday, December 1st).
The sweet treat episode is aptly titledGreat British Bake Off Best Bits and is poised to be a look back over the last ten years of the show.
So no doubt we will be looking forward to once again reliving the Baked Alaska Gate, Nadiya Hussain’s winning speech and basically, anything Selasi Gbormittah and Rahul Mandal did and said.
Announcing the special episode on Twitter, the Great British Bake Off teased:

Taking part in the Christmas special will be previous 2019 contestants Rosie Brandreth-Poynter and Jamie Finn, who will be going up against 2018 and 2017 contestants Ruby Bhogal and James Hillery.
Meanwhile, more previousBake Off heroes Helena Garcia, Henry Bird, Nancy Birtwhistle and Rahul Mandal will be battling it out once again at New Years.
Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood will also be judging the two specials but there will be a slight change in the host line-up for Christmas as Noel Fielding has announced he will be taking the time off to spend with his family.
Fielding is expected to return for the New Years episode but in the meantime, he’ll be replaced by comedian Tom Allen...sounds like a hoot!
