We’re delighted to be continuing our fantastically collaborative partnership with Love Productions and especially to be discovering a new generation of British baking talent with Junior Bake Off.”
Richard McKerrow, Chief Executive Love Productions says: “We are delighted to have extended Bake Off’s stay on Channel 4 after two great years together. We have been hugely encouraged by the audience response and feedback the show has received during its time on Channel 4 and are thrilled to be bringing Junior Bake Off to the Channel.

Thhank you :)
Great news about the renewal. I was fearful the show was going to change when it moved to Channel 4, but it’s remained true to the BBC original. Pity Foxtel doesn’t fast track this, especially when it can’t be bothered airing its own version in the same year it was filmed.
