Who will be the ultimate star baker for 2019?
The Great British Bake Off has not even returned to our screens yet, but the latest bookmaker odds suggest a clear favourite to take home the championship title.
The new series begins on Channel 4 on August 27 and will see Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith judging the new set of contestants, with presenters Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding on hand to provide the puns and emotional support.
But who is looking to be the new favourite for the series?
According to leading bookmaker Coral, contestant Amelia is the current favourite to win the 2019 series of the beloved British series, sitting in guided odds at 3-1.
Amelia is followed by Michael at 7-2, then Rosie at 4-1, before Alice at 6-1.
The top 5 is rounded out by Dan at 7-1.
"We've not got much idea of who will be rising and who will be sinking on this year's Great British Bake Off but Amelia already looks the stand out contestant. She's our one to watch and we think she's the early frontrunner, whilst Michael and Dan look like they might be the best of the boys," said Coral's Harry Aitkenhead.
