There are few dates in the TV cookery show calendar more hotly anticipated than the start of a new series of The Great British Bake Off.

And this year is no different, with a brand-new series set to hit our screens in the next few months.
Whilst things are unlikely to deviate too far from Bake Off's tried-and-tested formula, the producers always have a few changes up their sleeves. That's why we've gathered together all the information we have on series sixteen, so you know what to expect and when to organise your viewing parties for!
