The Great British Bake Off: Channel 4 rumoured to want Miranda Hart and her mother to be new presenters

Following Mary, Mel, and Sue's departure

After being rather annoyed when Netflix bought the rights to Black Mirror, Channel 4 decided to take another channel’s prime TV show: the BBC’s The Great British Bake Off.

When it was announced Love Productions had decided to sell up for a rumoured £75 million, controversy was everywhere. Which presenters would stay on? Would anyone watch?

As we now know, Paul Hollywood will be the only member of the core presenting team to remain with the show after the move to Channel 4, with Mary, Mel, and Sue electing to not ‘follow the dough’.

According to the latest rumours, Miranda Hart and her mother, Diana Hart-Dyke, are thought to be in the running for presenting the rebranded show.

Radio Times revealed the rumour while also revealing that a “comedically large list of possibles” are being considered for the role(s). Hart’s agents have decided not to comment on the news.

For those of you upset Mary, Mel, and Sue will no longer be presenting the flagship show, there’s one last chance to catch them all together. This Christmas, the trio will appear alongside Paul for The Great Christmas Bake on BBC One.
