Channel 4 has confirmed when the new series of Great British Bake Off will air amid a number of schedule changes.
In the wake of the tragic passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the broadcaster, along with many others, has announced a schedule shake up, with an extended edition of the network's news programme airing from midday on Friday. The Last Leg was also pulled from the schedule with host Adam Hills announcing "it didn't feel right" during a period of national mourning.
Amid programmes being cancelled and postponed, a number of viewers have speculated whether or not the new series of Great British Bake Off will begin next week on Channel 4, as planned.

Love Productions' long-term commitment with Channel 4 illustrates a deep, warm, mutual respect and partnership which enables us to bring Bake Off to the widest audience possible."
After Gogglebox aired on Friday, Channel 4 confirmed GBBO will return on Tuesday (September 13) at 8pm. Episodes will then air at the same time, weekly on Channel 4 and All 4.
