Paul Jagger – aka the creator of the 'bread lion', quite possibly the most impressive thing ever to be carved out of carbohydrates – will also be back, as will Welsh semi-finalist Beca Lyne-Pirkis. Beca has since gone on to host her own baking show on Welsh channel S4C.

This will be the first time any of these bakers have faced new judge Prue Leith and presenters Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig.

There will be two Bake Off Christmas specials on Channel 4, each featuring four previous bakers taking on a host of seasonal challenges.

Episode one will see Selasi, Beca, Paul and Val go head to head, with episode two featuring Benjamina, Rav, Sandy and Rob.
