The Great British Bake Off, Britain’s favourite baking show, is back – and so is our YouTube spin-off series The Side Dish!

The Great British Bake Off returns to the BBC on 5 August and much like last year my friends and I are doing our own spin-off YouTube series, The Side Dish. In this series we watch and comment on the episodes every week, we sample snacks and provide in-depth (well, ish) commentary as well as the odd nugget of comedy gold as the contestants bake for their survival in the competition.

This year we’ve got GBBO superfans Lottie and Megan, Helen and Pete and Hannah and Jason joining Cyd and I for what we anticipate to be many, many LOLs. You can join in the fun if you like – tweet us @The_Side_Dish and we’ll include our favourite tweets in the episodes.

To ensure you don’t miss out on any of the action you can subscribe to my channel and then wait for the videos to appear every week.

Can’t wait? Then you can view all the episodes from last year here.

Ready, Steady…. Bake!
