Alison, who presented this year's BAFTA Film Awards 2023 with legendary actor Richard E. Grant at London's Royal Festival Hall, recently exclaimed 'it's official' as she confirmed her next big TV role. The presenter has announced that she will be the new co-host of the Great British Bake Off when it returns to screens later this year, bagging the role following the exit of Matt Lucas.
Alison will now co-host the show with Noel Fielding and join judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith in the tent, three years after she appeared on an episode of celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer. "Yes it's breaking news, Alison Hammond is joining the team of the Great British Bake Off," the This Morning host could be heard saying behind the camera before zooming in on her own iced cake figure and asking: "Alison, have you got any words whatsoever?"
Alison said she was "absolutely thrilled" and confirmed she'd be meeting the new batch of bakers "soon." She added: "I'm so excited. As you can see my colleagues are absolutely speechless," as she pretended to interview the edible figures. "Just speechless. We're just so very happy and we can't wait to get started."
She then typed alongside the post confirming the move: "It’s OFFICIAL!!! It’s happening The Great British Bake off ! Let’s have it ! The cake that is [crying laughing emoji]#GBBO 2023 @britishbakeoff @noel_fielding @prueleith @channel4 @paul.hollywood."
