Tonight marks the second week of The Great British Bake Off after its hugely successful opening show last week that brought in its highest ratings yet. All the regulars returned including judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry, as well as hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, but it seems Mel will be without her partner-in-crime for this week's episode.

For the first time, Sue had to miss some filming of the show, sadly due to a family bereavement. 

She will be missed, but no doubt Mel will hold her own without her, she did it previously after all for the Sports Relief Bake Off.

It's biscuit week tonight on The Great British Bake Off, as the eleven remaining contestants create a wide range of sweets and pastry dishes, including cakes, pies, and patisserie, before judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood give their views in their own inimitable way.

 

Catch The Great British Bake Off tonight on BBC1 at 8pm.
