As August draws to a close, Channel 4 is gearing up to welcome in the autumn months with the newest season of The Great British Bake Off – and there's been quite the change in the tent!

Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Nigella Lawson would be joining the beloved series as judge, replacing Dame Prue Leith who decided to step down after almost a decade as a judge on the show.
Next month, viewers can expect to see Lawson bring her trademark warmth and passion for flavour to the tent.
In a new teaser for the upcoming series, longtime judge Paul Hollywood goes in for a bite, before he is joined by hosts Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond. It isn't long before Lawson joins the group, making way for her debut!
You can watch the full video below.

Just last week, Radio Times had an exclusive behind-the-scenes teaser of the new Bake Off, offering a first look at Lawson in the tent.
Lawson previously said she was "bubbling with excitement" to be joining the series.

She continued: "Of course it’s daunting to be following in the footsteps of Prue Leith and Mary Berry before her, great dames both, but I’m also bubbling with excitement. The Great British Bake Off is more than a television programme, it’s a National Treasure – and it’s a huge honour to be entrusted with it.
"I’m just thrilled to be joining the team and all the new bakers to come, I wish the marvellous Prue all the best, and am giddily grateful for the opportunity!"
And there is plenty to look forward to, with co-host Hammond previously teasing Hollywood and Lawson's "unbelievable" on-screen chemistry.
Speaking on Lorraine back in May, Hammond said: "Obviously we’ve started [filming], so I’ve been watching. I’m telling you, the chemistry between her and Paul is unbelievable."
