The Great British Bake Off has officially extended its license with Channel 4 and Love Productions for another three years.
The baking show has been broadcasted on Channel 4 since 2017 after it brought the rights from BBC.
Currently, on its twelfth series, the show is hosted by Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding and is judged by Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith.
