The shows will feature the signature, technical and showstopper rounds that viewers will recognise, and a star baker will be crowned at the end of each programme.

The series will also follow Olympic gold-winning boxer Nicola Adams as she visits Comic Relief-funded projects in South Africa.
Former Blue Peter presenter Helen Skelton admitted she is "absolutely rubbish at baking":
The fundraising Sport Relief weekend takes place from March 21 to 23 with members of the public invited to run, swim or cycle at the former Olympic Games venue in East London.
Great Sport Relief Bake Off will run over four consecutive evenings from Monday, January 13.
