CHANNEL 4 CONFIRM NEW SERIES OF BAKE OFF: THE PROFESSIONALS

Hosted by Liam Charles and Tom Allen, the toughest Bake Off on TV returns, as teams of pastry chefs from top hotels, restaurants and small businesses in Cardiff, Bristol, Norfolk, Brighton and London compete to be crowned best patisserie team in Britain.

The teams face testing challenges judged by two world-class patisserie experts, Benoit Blin and Cherish Finden. In this episode, the first challenge the teams face is to produce two different types of miniature classics - Tarte Piémontaise and the Jaffa Cake.

They must make 24 perfect and identical items of each pastry in just three and a half hours. In the second challenge, the teams must transform an ordinary dessert into an incredible fine-dining experience with their showpiece.

Bake Off The Professionals begins Tuesday 25th May at 8pm on Channel 4.
