Great British Bake Off 2023: Release date, hosts and latest news
Just four bakers remain on The Great British Bake Off 2023.
It's Tuesday, which means it's Bake Off day!
This week, the remaining four bakers in the Great British Bake Off 2023 line-up will take on Patisserie Week in an intense semi-final.
The Bake Off theme will see the bakers try their very best to make it to the final as they tackle some fancy challenges.
Viewers had to say goodbye to Cristy last week, after she failed to impress the judges during Party Week, and the judges were "so sorry" to see her ago, with Prue Leith admitting Cristy is "a really, really good baker".
Speaking of her time on the show, Cristy said: "It has been such a crazy, fast-paced experience. So I can now sit back and reflect on what an amazing time I have had. I am really proud to have got this far. I am really proud."

The Great British Bake Off 2023 judges
Prue Leith has now teamed up with original judge Paul Hollywood for five seasons, and both will return for season 14.
Ahead of the show, Leith revealed to Radio Times magazine that she and Hollywood had learned sign language to be able to communicate better with Tasha.
"She had a signer, so we all learnt a bit of sign language," Leith said. "Paul was terrific and he learnt a lot. I just about managed to learn how to say 'good luck' and 'well done'."
The Great British Bake Off 2023 hosts
While Noel Fielding is back for another year in the tent, he will this time be joined by Alison Hammond as co-presenter, as Matt Lucas stepped down at the end of last season.
In March of this year, Hammond said in a statement: "Finally, I can talk about it! I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining The Great British Bake Off and can't wait to meet this year's bakers.
"It's a huge honour to be back in the tent and I can’t wait to get started."

Who won The Great British Bake Off 2022?
Last year's series was won by Dr Syabira Yusoff, a cardiovascular research associate based in London, who pipped fellow contestants Abdul Sharif and Sandro Farmhouse to the post.
Speaking about Syabira's win, Paul Hollywood said: "Well done, Syabira. She can be a bit of a risk-taker with her flavours, and it has worked. Some of the flavours we have never had in the tent before and [are] unlikely to have again, she is an incredible baker."
Prue Leith added: "She is creative and she is careful, she practises like anything and she is imaginative, she just has the lot. She is a very skilful baker."
Syabira was obviously delighted, saying: "Thank you so much. I can’t believe it. Honestly, it hasn’t sunk in yet, this is the biggest achievement in my life. All the hard work, all the trial and error, it has all been worth it. I am very, very proud."
Great British Bake Off will continues on Channel 4 at 8pm on Tuesday 21st November.
