How to watch the Great British Bake Off online outside the UK including Australia, USA and Canada

The Great British Bake Off returns to our screens tonight on Channel 4 and fans will be able to see the latest baking hopefuls attempt to impress Paul and Prue without leaving a soggy bottom.

Season 13 returns with Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood judging the contestant's baking prowess, and hosts Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding providing the entertainment in the tent.

If you are a fan of bake off but you are out of the country on a holiday there is a way to catch the action live on your mobile or tablet device. The Great British Bake Off is completely free for UK viewers because it airs on terrestrial TV. That means you can use a VPN service to watch Channel 4 even if you are not in the country.

A VPN can be used to watch the Great British Bake Off while out of the country. Services such ExpressVPN allow you to dial in and watch Channel 4 even while out of the country. You just need to download the VPN and set your location to the UK to access all free to air TV from the country.

VPNs also allow you to keep your web history completely private, keep your online data safe and secure, or stream movies and sports fixtures that aren't available in your current location.

You can get Express VPN here in time for tonight’s Great British Bake Off episode.

How to watch Great British Bake Off abroad

VPNs are a downloadable online tool that can be used to basically suggest you’re still using a UK-based IP address - and bypass the issue blocking your content, or All4 in this instance.

We’ve popped a helpful step-by-step guide below on exactly how you can watch Love Island, when you’re outside the UK:

  1. Download a VPN server like ExpressVPN or NordVPN to your laptop, tablet, phone or other streaming device of your choice
  2. Once in the VPN’s interface, you then want to select a UK server
  3. Head to the All4 and search for Great British Bake Off - or anything else you watch to watch
  4. Press play, sit back and get ready to watch the drama unfold.
