There's just a few weeks to go til the new series begins

As the evenings begin to get chillier and summer draws to a close, there's always one thing to look forward to at this time of year - a new series of 'The Great British Bake Off'.

This year, of course, will see a new era for the baking contest as Alison Hammond steps into Matt Lucas's shoes as co-host with Noel Fielding.

Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith remain as judges, while the 'This Morning' host previously announced her involvement last December, after Lucas said that he was "cheerfully passing the baguette on to someone else" after three seasons as co-host.

Now, the first trailer for the new season - which kicks off in September on Channel 4 with an exact date TBC - has dropped.

It shows animated ingredients - eggs, flour, chocolate and raspberries - all making their way to the Bake-Off tent to be turned into a cake, which is then eaten by Hammond, Fielding, Hollywood and Leith.
