The Great British Bake Off returns to our screens this week for another episode of baking but it’s not airing at its usual time.
If you’ve been watching along, you might be wondering why Bake Off isn’t on tonight (October 17) and when this week’s episode will be going live.
England are playing against Italy this evening and with the coverage being broadcast on Channel 4, it means that Bake Off must be pushed back.
When is Bake Off going to be on this week?
Due to the TV schedule change, the new episode of Bake Off will be available to watch on Wednesday, October 17.
On your marks... get set... CHANGE OF DATE!

There's no Bake Off on @Channel4 tonight because of the England vs Italy match, so we'll be kicking off the Chocolate Week baking action this Weds at 8pm instead. That means an extra 24 hours to stock up on suitable nibbles! #GBBO pic.twitter.com/Drvxe4jXZW

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
