Your support makes all the difference.Last night, Mel and Sue revealed to the world they would not be presenting The Great British Bake Off on Channel 4, stating they would not be ‘following the dough’.
Just hours later and ITV claimed they would be announcing the new presenters on This Morning. The programme’s Twitter account stated the announcement will take place at 10.30am today,.
However, Channel 4 have told The Independent that This Morning’s announcement is not true. Love Productions have also been contacted for comment.
On the show itself, Phillip Schofield revealed that neither him, nor Holly will be taking over from Mel and Sue, declaring that he believes Channel 4 have 'killed it'.
ITV remained absent from bidding on Bake Off as Love Productions could not guarantee the presenters, along with Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry, would remain on the show.
Speculators currently believe Jo Brand could become the next presenter of Bake Off as she currently hosts Extra Slice, the BBC spin-off show. Other contenders include Rachel Riley, French and Saunders, and Davinia McColl.
