Channel 4’s recipe for Great British Bake Off success is still missing a couple of vital ingredients in the form of replacement hosts for Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, who originally fronted the show on BBC One. The broadcaster, who acquired the rights to the show from Love Productions for £75m in September, have reportedly been struggling to secure new presenters after the comedic duo walked away from the series last year.
NewsYahoo News UKIs 'Let It Shine' evidence that time is up for television talent shows?
My disdain for television talent shows will be more than clear to anyone who has stumbled upon one of my many vitriolic rants aimed towards the X-Factor, most recently inspired by the woeful turn of events that saw Honey G actually be allowed to release a legitimate record in the British charts. Although the idea that this is an ego trip for Gary, or an attempt to prolong the relevancy of a dwindling ‘Take That’ would be totally wrong because they’re searching for members of ‘The Band’ not ‘Take That’ and they’re going to be in a fictional musical about the fictitious ‘The Band’ and not about the life of ‘Take That’.
NewsYahoo News UKLet it Shine: Starway to Heaven
The BBC’s new Saturday night entertainment show received mixed reactions – as did ITV’s slightly tweaked format of The Voice. Gary Barlow was in West End musical mode, opening the show with a full stage production that may have flummoxed X-Factor viewers, but set the stall out nicely for those of us who previously enjoyed the hunt for Maria, Dorothy, Joseph and Nancy.

The beloved Bake Off judge, 81, told Chris Evans on Radio 2 on Wednesday morning that her decision to stay with the BBC was made “straight away”, but that no plans had been made about what the trio will do next.

Great British Bake Off hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins bring their distinctive warmth and charm to the famous marquee through their exchange of top banter, hilarious puns and double entendres. According to reports, Richard could be about to land another role on the terrestrial channel, as Bake Off bosses believe his dry sense of humour and penchant for puns could make him the ideal replacement. Speaking of the new frontrunner, a source told The Sun: “Richard is a really popular choice at the minute, as many think he’s got a great character that would bring a great spark to the show.

Channel 4 bosses insist they ‘saved’ The Great British Bake Off
The network’s Chief Creative Officer, Jay Hunt, insisted everything was going well, claiming that Channel 4 “saved” the show for the viewing public following the disintegration of the BBC and Love Productions’ relationship. “This was the worst kept secret in British TV history,” she told The Times. Do I, in the end, think it’s a good fit with Channel 4 that audiences will come and find it here?
NewsAdele AnkersBritney Spears interested in Great British Bake Off role
Britney Spears has admitted that she would be interested in a role on the Great British Bake Off when it moves over to Channel 4 next year because she loves cooking calorific treats. The Toxic hitmaker stopped by BBC Radio 1 on Wednesday to have a natter with Scott Mills and Chris Stark, but the conversation soon turned to the hot topic of the moment: Bake Off’s channel/presenter drama.
NewsAlex Moreland (TV Blogger)Could the BBC make their own Bake Off replacement?
After that, though, the show is Channel 4’s – but they may have to wait, because their contract allows for the BBC to delay the showing of the program until 2018. Industry experts have suggested this is unlikely, however, because the “cooling off” clause that would allow this delay is included to give the BBC time to strike a new deal with Love Productions, something that they aren’t expected to do. In that case, then, it seems that the first new Bake Off we’ll see on Channel 4 will be a celebrity special, in aid of the charity Stand up to Cancer.
NewsStewart TurnerBBC could air Bake Off rival before Channel 4 show
In a dramatic escalation of the almighty Bake Off bun fight, the BBC could launch a rival to the show BEFORE the original version even gets an airing on Channel 4. Channel 4 bought the show from Love Productions earlier in the month – a move which saw presenters Mel and Sue decide to quit out of loyalty to the Beeb. Mary Berry followed the pair last week, leaving Channel 4 with little more than Paul Hollywood and an empty tent.

Lining up alongside 45-year-old Gary on the judging panel are Spandau Ballet star turned EastEnders badboy Martin Kemp, Glee singer and actress Amber Riley, and former X-Factor judge Dannii Minogue, making her first appearance as a judge on British TV since she sat alongside Simon Cowell in 2011. “Dannii, Martin and Amber all bring so much to this panel with the breadth of experience in music, acting, stage and TV,” gushed Gazza.
