TV bosses have decided to serve up not one but TWO Christmas specials of the revamped Great British Bake Off.
Clearly inspired by the success of the show last Christmas Day, C4 bosses are planning to do the same, but also double the chances of ratings success by producing two shows.
These episodes will give fans the chance to enjoy Christmas with the new on screen team of Prue Leith, Paul Hollywood, Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig.
At this stage it’s unclear whether these two one-hour festive specials will feature celebrity bakers or members of the public.

Oh no! They have dreamt up a new show of their own, which will feature a Bake Off legend.
The Big Family Cooking Showdown will star Nadiya Hussain with Zoe Ball and the BBC hope that the show will be the perfect ratings replacement for the show they’ve lost.

“He’s younger than me [by seven years], so he might stay the course, ” she told the Guardian. “I think it has given us both a new lease of life.”

“At this very moment, he’s busy Hoovering his carpet or mowing his lawn,” she said. “He comes back at lunchtime, and then he goes away again and comes back at night. I don’t have to do any domestic stuff, wifely stuff.”
