Who replaced Matt Lucas at GBBO?

In December 2022, Matt Lucas shocked fans when he revealed he had quit hosting Bake Off.

The comedian, who hosted the show alongside Noel Fielding, said he could no longer host it alongside his other projects.

Speaking to fans, he said: “Farewell Bake Off! It was a delicious experience and I can’t think of a more fun way to spend my summers.”

“But I realized I can’t present Fantasy Football League and Bake Off at the same time alongside all my other projects.”

While Matt may have left, Noel continues to host the show.

He is joined by his new co-host Alison Hammond.

Speaking about how she got the Plum Bake Off job and how different it is to squirt on This Morning, she told Channel 4: “It’s like being on holiday – it’s wonderful, it’s free and you feel sure.”

“You don’t have to think politically about anything. It’s just a happy and safe show.”
