Alison Hammond confirms she's the new host of Great British Bake Off by interviewing 'herself' as fans react
manchestereveningnews.co.ukAlison Hammond has exclaimed 'it's official' as she finally confirmed her next big TV role. The presenter has announced that she will be the new co-host of the Great British Bake Off when it returns to screens later this year.
It was reported on Thursday night (March 16) that the This Morning star had bagged the role following the exit of Matt Lucas.
He announced his departure from the popular Channel 4 show in December, explaining he was leaving as he could no longer commit to the programme’s schedule alongside his other projects but described his time on the show as a "delicious experience".
Alison will now co-host the show with Noel Fielding and join judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith in the tent, three years after she appeared on an episode of celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer, in which she momentarily became confused about the whereabouts of her oven door.
