The Great British Bake Off is going through a major revamp in a bid to satisfy disgruntled fans who felt that the challenges on the last series were too complicated. The show, which is set to start filming in April, will return to basics with easier tasks and more classic bakes.
Fans were not pleased with the Halloween lantern challenge that had to be a piñata, and the time constraints were also criticised, with some describing them as “mission impossible”. The series was a disappointment for some viewers, with the underwhelming final watched by only 5.2 million people compared to 7.2 million the previous year.
