It’s been a year since the last non-celebrity season, and we’re ready for more technical challenges and Hollywood handshakes on our TV screens, perhaps now more than ever. Seeing judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith, and co-hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas take to the tent on Channel 4 for some pure, clean entertainment is just what we need.

Over the years, we’ve become particularly attached to a few favourite contestants from the show .
