Junior Bake Off: Channel confirms 2025 air date for new series - when is it on and what to expect
Junior Bake Off is returning to screens in the new year, with the latest crop of young bakers set to go head-to-head to crown a new winner.
Last year’s series saw 12-year-old Tilly, from Oxfordshire, take home the title after impressing the judges. Upon winning, the youngster said: "I wasn’t expecting to be the winner, I didn’t even really think I would get on the show!
"This competition meant so much to me, it’s been the best time of my life. Maybe I will have my own bakery one day!’"
It’s almost time for another group of young bakers to enter the tent and try to impress the judges. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming 10th series.
It comes after the main series, The Great British Bake Off, crowned its series 15 winner. Carmarthenshire nurse Georgie Grasso won the series after a tense final, saying after her win: "This is just incredible. I can't believe that I have won The Great British Bake Off."
