There’s less than a week to go until the Great British Bake Off returns – and the first trailer has now been unveiled.
Following the reveal of the 12 amateur contestants earlier this week, the BBC have released a first look at the bakers in action.
They look like another loveable line-up , from Val, who claims she can tell her cakes are done by ‘listening’ to them, to Jane, who – just like all of us – sneaks a bit of icing from her piping bag.
Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood also seem on friendly form, with Berry praising one bake as “very nice”, and Hollywood telling a baker that their creation is “lovely”.
The 30-second clip doesn’t give us very much to go off for now – but with the series beginning on Wednesday, August 24, we’re about to get to know all the hopefuls a bit better very shortly.
This will be the seventh series of The Great British Bake Off, which gave us the most-viewed TV episode of 2015 when Nadiya Hussain won Series 6.

The contestants range from 25 year-old Northern Irish aerospace engineer Andrew, to 46 year-old Welsh hairdresser Louise, and 67 year-old builder-turned-pastor Lee from Bolton.
As usual, they will be hoping to impress Paul and Mary with their showstoppers and signature bakes in order to collect the all-import Bake Off trophy.
BBC One, Wednesday, 8pm
