After a somewhat disastrous series of The Great British Bake Off last year, with too-tough tasks and a distinct lack of actual baking, we’re going into the new series with our hopes rising like a fresh-out-of-the-oven bread lion.
For one thing, producers have confirmed that they’re going back to basics with the tasks to let the bakers shine at what they do best
But just as promising is the new presenting line-up: after Matt Lucas chose to leave the show last year, Noel Fielding will now be joined by the wonderful Alison Hammond.
The host of This Morning (and former contestant on Big Brother) has grown a reputation for creating laugh-out-loud viral moments. From her textbook style of bringing the best out of celebrity interviews to her entertaining mishaps, Hammond sprinkles magic over every TV show she appears on.

Ah, Ready Steady Cook – you were a product of simpler times. The BBC’s teatime TV cooking show saw two contestants bring along a bag of ingredients, team up with a celebrity chef, (becoming Team Green Pepper and Team Red Tomato) and spend 20 minutes transforming what they’d brought into a tasty dinner.
They only had a maximum budget of £5 (which these days would probably only stretch to half a cucumber and a pot noodle) so the dishes weren’t fancy – none of this nonsense about serving some daft gravy-with-notions and calling it a ‘jus’. No, the likes of Ainsley Harriott or Anthony Worrall Thompson usually just hastily assembled a lasagne, and then the audience voted for a winner – and by ‘vote’, we mean they lifted up a picture of a green pepper or a red tomato.

Alison Hammond’s role as the new co-host of The Great British Bake Off is just, if you’ll pardon the pun, the icing on the cake of a 21-year screen career, which has been filled with some of the most hilarious and surreal moments ever committed to television.
The Birmingham-born star has, over the decades, knocked a sailor into the Thames, had Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling in fits of giggles, and joined forces with Ainsley Harriott to terrorise a woman called Jill in her living room.
Those are just a few of the chaotic moments Hammond has given us, which you can read about below, along with many more…

Rhodes’ family said in a statement to the Associated Press that he died Tuesday with his wife Jennie by his side. He was in Dubai, where he ran two restaurants — Rhodes W1 and Rhodes Twenty10 — at the time of his death, the BBC reported. No cause of death has been released.
Rhodes, who was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2006, was renowned for changing the reputation of stodgy British food around the world.

When have tabloid rumours been spot on about Doctor Who, and when have they been, er, less accurate?
“Look Who's the Doc's new assistant!” On Tuesday, the Mirror's front page trumpeted an exclusive reveal that Bradley Walsh would be Jodie Whittaker's companion in the new series of Doctor Who.

The one-time Sarah Jane Adventures guest star would be the first companion actor to have hosted a quiz show with the same name as a 1960s serial, but beyond trivia, the report has been fairly well received as far as we can see – Walsh is a decent actor, who's worked with incoming executive producer Chris Chibnall before on Law & Order UK, and a fun screen presence.

Strictly Come Dancing had another classic Halloween episode this weekend, but of course it was scarier for some of the celebrities than others. But who looks like they might be out of the running and who is creeping closer to that Glitter Ball trophy?
Out of the running: Kirsty Gallacher
Well, this seems particularly cruel. Kirsty had finally started to turn things around last week and was creeping up our rankings… but then her Halloween Charleston went horribly wrong with slips and mistakes and she picked up her lowest score of the series before becoming the first woman to be booted out (she joins the series' other eliminees Iwan Thomas, Anthony Ogogo, Daniel O'Donnell and Ainsley Harriott). Bad luck, Kirsty.
10. Jamelia (⬇3)
It doesn't seem quite fair to have Jamelia at the bottom of the rankings. She's far from the worst dancer in the competition and she's been improving, too, but...

Speaking on Strictly: It Takes Two, an emotional Natalie admitted that she has been crying since she and Ainsley left the show.
"It's really hard," she said. "I've been really upset the last couple of days - I can't seem to get it together... I'm just really gutted, but I've had such an amazing journey so it's really sad to see it come to such a sudden end.
"But the judges said there wasn't enough technique and all of that - I've just apologised to [Ainsley] for not giving [him] a proper jive. I decided to do it rock and roll because it suited [him]."

Harriott said of the incident: "Well, I think it kind of reminds everybody that it is live television – things can happen like that.

"But it's the last thing you want to hear – you don't want to hear that type of thing on primetime television, Saturday night family TV. But it's live TV, and sometimes things do go wrong. I'm sure that he didn't mean it.

Ainsley Harriott has responded to the judges' criticism of him on Strictly Come Dancing.

The celebrity chef has admitted he struggled to hide his personality while performing on the show with professional partner Natalie Lowe.
"You go through rigorous training, hours and hours every day to achieve a certain standard, and I think that of course your personality comes out in the dance," Harriott explained. "I always see the glass half full and I am an exuberant type of person."
He noted that four of his five dances were energetic and that his waltz allowed him to show another "more controlled" side.

Ainsley Harriott has offered up his opinion on why the male celebrities keep leaving Strictly Come Dancing.
The celebrity chef became the fourth male to exit this year's competition when he was elimimated tonight (October 25) with professional partner Natalie Lowe.
Strictly Come Dancing: Ainsley Harriott and Natalie Lowe are the fourth couple to exit
"I think the very first week when I was involved in it, when we were dancing, I was asked about who was looking good and I said, 'The girls look very, very strong'," Harriott recalled.
"We've just got a very, very strong collection of people there. I put my effort in but the old 58-year-old bones didn't quite stand up to it all! But I gave it my best, I really did."
He also weighed into the debate over whether the fact that some of this year's celebrities had previous dance training gave them an advantage.

Strictly Come Dancing judge Darcey Bussell has described Jeremy Vine as "gorgeous" - but suggested his long limbs are getting in his way.
Speaking on tomorrow's episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, Bussell admitted that she enjoys watching the broadcaster.
"He's gorgeous," she said. "I am a fan - he's kind of got an odd charm about him.
"But he does look like a giant spider and you want him to kind of be able to bring it all together and contain it and it's all a bit out there. But he's slowly getting it together."
Bussell added that Vine needs to calm down a bit on the show, saying: "It's weird with him because he gets very overexcited and with those limbs and with the excitement, it goes wild, so he doesn't appreciate that one step for him looks like a leap - it looks like a giant leap.

Strictly Come Dancing is now into its fourth week and the competition is really hotting up, with an incredibly close leaderboard.
Digital Spy was watching along and have rounded up all of the scores and judges' comments below:
1. Anita Rani and Gleb Savchenko dancing the samba to 'Hips Don't Lie by Shakira: 6+7+7+7=27
Len: "Your hips certainly don't lie. A little bit long getting started but once you got into it… I thought you coped very well. I think it could have been better leg action, but I'm being pernickety."
Bruno: "That was warming up nicely. The samba has a carefree feel to it, but a couple of times there you got a little tangled and it kind of stopped it a little bit. The technique is actually very very hard. It was a bit on and off."

Ainsley Harriott is finding 'Strictly Come Dancing' rehearsals painful. The celebrity chef - who is partnered with dance professional Natalie Lowe on the show - has admitted he's finding it hard-going because the intense training means his muscles are always aching. He explained: ''My legs absolutely ache. Five or six hours in that studio ... oof. ''I wouldn't say it's killing me but I'm waking up muscles that I didn't know existed.

Strictly Come Dancing's Natalie Lowe has announced that she is engaged.
The professional dancer will tie the knot with company director James Knibbs, and told Hello! that she is "very excited, happy and proud".
Natalie is currently competing in this series of Strictly Come Dancing, and is paired with Ainsley Harriott.
The couple found themselves in the bottom two in yesterday's show, but survived the dance-off against Anthony Ogogo and Oti Mabuse.
Natalie only had good things to say about Ainsley, calling him "full of beans".
"He is 58 - the oldest in the competition - but he's given the young 'uns a run for their money," she said.
Strictly Come Dancing airs next weekend on Saturday, October 17 at 6.30pm and Sunday, October 18 at 7.15pm on BBC One.

After a dramatic, movie-themed weekend of Strictly Come Dancing, it was Anthony Ogogo's time to take off the boxing gloves and leave the sequinned ring.
Boxer Ogogo and his partner Oti Mabuse faced the dance-off alongside chef Ainsley Harriott and his partner Natalie Lowe, but it was Ogogo's turn to go as all four judges opted to save Harriott and Lowe.
Ogogo was graceful in defeat, saying: "It's been brilliant. I want to thank Oti, she has been amazing.
"I feel sorry for her because she got lumbered with me - I can't dance and I've got a poorly little shoulder. She's done a wonderful job with me, so thank you."

We bathed in glitter, donned some lycra and quickstepped our way down to the Strictly Come Dancing studios on Friday night for the very first live show of the series - and it was just as exciting as we'd hoped.
But while we were obviously thrilled by the dances and entertained by the judges, there were a few things that the cameras didn't pick up:
1. The audience get warmed up in the best way
It's not particularly surprising that the audience are played music while they're waiting for the show to begin. What's brilliant is that all the songs are dancing-related. 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody', 'Dance The Night Away' and 'Dancing In The Moonlight' were among the tunes pumped out over the sound system.
2. Being a celebrity doesn't get you special treatment (well, not always, anyway)
Of course the famous faces taking part in Strictly have some famous friends...

In other words, you can stick it to Darcey Bussell, Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood if you think their dance scores are pants.
"I love the idea that people at home will be tweeting their own scores with these very funky mini scoring paddles," Revel Horwood said.
"I am sure that most people who tweet will be agreeing with my scores anyway though as I rarely get these things wrong darlings!"
