The Great British Bake Off is to move to Channel 4 after the BBC lost the rights to the programme, with the corporation saying its resources were not “infinite”.
In a statement, Channel 4 said: “Channel 4 will become the new home of the Great British Bake Off after signing a new three-year agreement with the producers of the hit show, Love Productions.
Jay Hunt, Channel 4’s chief creative officer, said: “Channel 4 is very proud to be the new home for The Great British Bake Off.
“It’s tremendously exciting to have found a broadcaster who we know will protect and nurture The Great British Bake Off for many years to come.”
