Well it looks like the highly popular "The Great British Bake" will not be a BBC show anymore. Coming from BBC News, Sept. 12, it was reported that the BBC lost the rights to the show. Where will be it showing now? Instead of BBC One, the show will be broadcasted on Channel 4, which they signed a three-year deal with Love Productions.

The series had started on BBC Two in 2010, then in 2014 had moved to BBC One. The seventh season started last month and the first episode was watched by an average of 10.4 million viewers. Last year's finale had 15.1 million viewers.

So Channel 4's first "The Great British Bake" will be a celebrity version of the show and it will air next year.
