Bake Off 2022: I left show in week one and the lead up was horrible (Metro)

Here's what happens behind the scenes of Great British Bake Off from a former contestant who was eliminated first in 2019.

But for the first eliminated star of the series, their Bake Off journey is far from over as they have to stay at the hotel another night to then pose for more photos on Monday. ‘You’re all waiting around and then you all come back in and that’s a completely different mood,’ Dan reveals. ‘Producers will pull people for your little talking to the camera moment, and they do some filming at the end of the day too,’ Dan says. But before the lights, camera and action, the contestants have a 20-minute drive to get to the tent. ‘You’re thinking “I haven’t really got time to speak to you” and you’ve got to be like “I’ve got to crack on with this”.’ But what do the bakers get up to while the cleaners are hard at work? At this point, the producers check in to see whether any of the group need their clothes washed because the bakers famously must wear the same outfit for day two. ‘A lot of the things that he would say didn’t make it in because he would just say anything he wanted to and it might not have been quite appropriate,’ he divulges. In the evenings, the bakers all sit around and have dinner together. On Friday, group photos with the bakers and the judges are taken. Casting his mind back to the first day, Dan remembers it was a ‘long day’. ‘I put buttercream on my hot fruit cake and because it had been sat for two hours the buttercream had seeped everywhere,’ he cringes.

The Great British Bake Off is back and as they get busy baking away in the nation's most iconic tent, get to know the new stars taking part here.

Intrigued by the technical side of baking, he is a particular fan of using yeast – and not just in bread! Now, he lives and breathes it and is often found rustling up bakes in a relaxed vibe with the telly on or running virtual baking classes for children with autism. She spent her childhood in the countryside in Northern Ireland and loves everything to do with Irish culture – she can Irish dance and play the tin whistle.

The youngest contestant in this year's line-up, 18-year-old student and sales assistant Maisam, has a strong creative steak and is pentalingual - meaning she speaks a whopping five languages! She prides herself on her steady hand and attention to detail, especially when it comes to the intricacy required for lace patterns on biscuits. His keen interest in baking began when he and his graduate colleagues baked for each other to brighten up their daily coffee breaks. 33-year-old music teacher Kevin comes from Lanarkshire and he loves spending time with his nearest and dearest, which includes his family's much-loved pets. His favourite flavours are ginger and chocolate and he loves working Polish ingredients into British staples. Her favourite flavours are fruity and punchy.

For the first time in my life, I think I’ve just been thin-shamed." "I might have to make a game of it when I go out an exercise to stay out of people's way.

If only she’d made a tiny marzipan monkey to complete the memory. These caveats notwithstanding, Bake Off is a beautiful thing, a depiction of a diverse Britain healing itself through the medium of cake. “Why are you laughing?” It’s a serious business: Marie Antoinette’s let them eat cake philosophy is so 18th century; today we must not eat cakes, but wear them to reduce fuel bills. It’s Where’s Wally for eyewear, and at some point Carole is bound to seize Prue Leith’s glasses, also pink, from the judge’s face until she is clubbed senseless by Prue’s enforcers for her temerity. Hollywood complains that he has to sample 12 of these towers as part of the judging process, even the ones (I’m looking at you, Rebs) so claggy the sponge sticks to the roof of his mouth. As fuel bills rocket, war ravages Ukraine and we mourn not just the passing of the second Elizabethan age but the advent of the third one in the form of Liz Truss, this band of bakers is tasked with cheering up broken Britain.

Noel and Matt were delightfully frivolous, Prue was still giddy at the prospect of eating a very boozy cake, and Paul’s “white walker” eyes still stalked the tent like a lioness hunting a gazelle. As is tradition, it was Cake Week, and the first challenge of the series was to create 12 identical mini sandwich cakes. There were very few surprises in the results: Janusz’s beautifully decorated chocolate cake cemented his place as 2022’s first Star Baker, while it was time for Will to pack his bags. The Technical Challenge was to bake my personal favourite, a ginormous six-layered red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. At the other end of the scale were Janusz, Sandro, Abdul and Syabira, though despite the fierce competition for teacher’s pet, Paul kept his Hollywood Handshake to himself.

Bake Off Week One: Cake Week is no cakewalk if your buttercream's ... (iNews)

Twelve more bakers – all of whom seem quite nice but who often prove to be shark-like in their singular pursuit of the ultimate prize – have entered the tent.

This week, the showstoppers were very sweetly based on the contestants’ memories of special homes in their childhoods, and the award goes to Dawn, who valiantly created pebbledash out of icing. The first challenge of the series is a classic Signature bake, in which the bakers are invited to make 12 mini-sandwich cakes. It’s hard for the contestants to stand out from the crowd in episode one, but after a mammoth 90-minute launch, that opened with a Star Wars skit (“Pruebacca”), I’m willing to go on record now and predict that Syabira will be in the final, though everything else is still up for grabs.

ROLAND WHITE: We can always rely on Bake Off for stale skits and ... (Daily Mail)

ROLAND WHITE: The new series began with a sketch about Star Wars in which Matt Lucas played 'Luke Piewalker' and Noel Fielding was 'Princess Layer Cake'.

Asked to produce a cake in the shape of a house for the showstopper round, he baked a stunning and colourful replica of his mother's flat in Poland. Interviewed in Gorbachev, Heaven (BBC4) he suggested an alternative title for the programme: Conversations With A Crank. The former Conservative Cabinet minister has walked 300 miles from Spain's Atlantic coast to the Mediterranean but this final stage of his journey was like a poignant episode of Who Do You Think You Are? In the first round, Angolan Sandro baked mini-sandwiches in the shape of flowers in pots and came second in the red velvet cake challenge.
