BAKING fans will be delighted by the return of The Great British Bake Off tonight.
Presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins joined judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood to welcome the series 5 contestants to the famous white tent, which was located in the grounds of Welford Park, just outside Newbury, in West Berkshire, for filming earlier in the year.
