The decision to move The Great British Bake Off from the BBC to Channel 4 without the full original lineup was met with anger from many fans when it was first announced.
And now that the first image of the new lineup for the Channel 4 version has been revealed it doesn't look like that anger has any intention of dying down soon.
The official Twitter account of The Great British Bake Off tweeted out a picture of the new lineup overnight along with the promise that the new series would be on air soon.
Good things come to those who bake.

GBBO alumni Paul Hollywood is returning and will be joined by presenter, Sandi Toksvig, comedian Noel Fielding and restauranteur Prue Leith.
Here's how Twitter reacted.
This is the most upsetting image ever. It's wrong! Stop it, #GBBO! 😠https://t.co/SENI8tw5Vv

The despite the overall disappointment, there seemed to be many that are happy with Noel Fielding's inclusion.
#GBBO line up would be acceptable if it was just Noel Fielding on his own
