What is The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice about?

Brand is joined by three panellists to dissect the week's events from inside the tent. There is usually a professional chef or baker, a comedian, and a famous figure who's a fan of the show. Former Bake Off champions have previously sat on the panel before, and judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood serve up their views at least once each series.

After reviewing some of the behind-the-scenes footage, Brand asks her panellists and the studio audience about what they make of the week’s events.

We then get to see some bakes sent in by viewers at home and the studio audiences – some good, some not so good – which the panel are invited to try.

The show concludes with an interview with the booted baker of each week who often brings in their least-successful creation for the panel to try.

The Great British Bake Off is on Tuesdays on Channel 4, with An Extra Slice on Fridays.
