Alison Hammond is 'set to be unveiled as the new host of the Great British Bake Off', replacing Matt Lucas
Ms Hammond, 48, will replace departing presenter Matt Lucas when the Channel 4 show resumes filming for the new series in the summer alongside Noel Fielding."Alison is a great choice," a source said. "She will bring warmth and humour to the tent in spades. We’re laughing just thinking about it.”
Ms Hammond, 48, made a good impression after appearing on a celebrity version of the Bake Off in 2020 for Stand Up 2 Cancer.“I do think that good food and good baking comes from the heart - and I’ve got a lot of heart,” she said at the time. She told judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith: “I love chocolate brownies. Any time I go out and about, try a brownie, it never compares to my brownies. I know that sounds really big headed.”
She added: "Oh my god, this is just going so well. Things are just running so smooth for me, this is actually boring TV. I’m literally a natural baker - and a natural eater as well.” She will be the first non-white presenter or judge in the show's 14-year history. Fans have previously called for a female presenter to come on the show.
