Fans of The Great British Bake Off 2023 are going to be disappointed when they tune in tonight because instead of soggy bottoms and Hollywood handshakes, they will find England playing Italy in a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying match at Wembley Stadium.
While football fans are in for a treat, sadly Bake Off viewers are going to have to wait an extra 24 hours for their Paul and Prue fix as the fourth episode of the season airs tomorrow night, Wednesday, October 18 at 8 pm on Channel 4 instead.
But, one thing that will reassure fans of the baking show is that this week's episode is going to be worth the wait because it is chocolate week. Hurrah!
The episode will see the remaining contestants take on a tricky torte in the signature challenge, then a complicated cheesecake for the technical... before moving on to a showstopper to top all others when the judges ask the bakers to make a chocolate box made entirely out of, well, chocolate!
After three weeks of drama in the famous white Bake Off tent, we have seen Amos, Keith and Abbi leave the show. Last week's episode saw Abbi struggling in the technical during Bread Week, while her cottage loaf was deemed too garlicky by Prue.
But who will make it through to next week's show, which will see the bakers take on Pastry Week?
Episode 5, airing on Tuesday, October, 24 will see the remaining amateur bakers take on a signature that involves making 12 individual savoury picnic pies, then a French rough puff classic for the technical and a showstopper made out of decorative sweet pies. No pressure then!
In the UK The Great British Bake Off airs every Tuesday at 8 pm on Channel 4, and in the US The Great British Baking Show will land on Netflix at midnight PST every Friday.
