Bake Off gives first look at Alison Hammond in the tent
Hammond has taken Matt Lucas's place as co-host alongside Noel Fielding.
The first teaser trailer for this year's season of The Great British Bake Off has been released, giving us our first look at Alison Hammond in the tent.
Hammond is taking over as Noel Fielding's co-host following the departure of Matt Lucas after the show's most recent New Year special.
In the trailer, baking ingredients are seen excitedly making their way to the tent, to be prepared into a delicious-looking chocolate and raspberry cake.
At the end, Hammond is seen alongside Fielding and judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood, as they all prepare to tuck into the cake.
You can watch the full teaser trailer right here now.
Hammond was confirmed as Lucas's replacement in March of this year, and said in a statement: "Finally, I can talk about it! I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining The Great British Bake Off and can’t wait to meet this year’s bakers.
"It’s a huge honour to be back in the tent and I can’t wait to get started."
