It's been an emotional few days for fans of The Great British Bake Off. First came the news that the programme would be leaving the BBC - its home for the last six years - and airing on Channel 4 as of next year; then, yesterday, we learned that presenters Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc would not be staying on for the next series. Even as we come to terms with these two bombshells, there's still plenty up in the air: who will replace Mel and Sue as the show's presenting duo? Will judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood follow the show to Channel 4, or will they leave as well? Will Channel 4's Bake Off actually bear any resemblance whatsoever to the one we know and love? Is there any reason the BBC can't just commission a new baking programme - Bake Off in all but name - and invite Mel and Sue back to host that?
These are stressful times indeed for us baking fanatics, but at least we've still got a new episode of Bake Off to enjoy tonight...not to mention another great bakeware giveaway to tell you about!
For the first (and possibly last - sniff!) time, it's Batter Week on Bake Off, and so we're giving away not one but TWO fab Yorkshire pudding trays! If you like cooking roast dinners, then these trays are a godsend; after all, what's a Sunday lunch without a few Yorkshires to nosh on?
If you fancy winning these two tins for yourself, here's what you need to do...
