That plan meant that the cast and crew of the series all had to self-isolate for nine days and take three COVID tests before forming a bubble together for six weeks in order to shoot the show. They hired a hotel in south east London in July 2020, where the entire cast and crew stayed, as well as 20 hotel staff and 80 producers.
"It was a massive operation, we even [built] 12 practice kitchens for the bakers to use on their days off," explained Smith. "It felt like the safest place in Britain."
This series will have a new host since Sandi Toksvig's departure. Comedian Matt Lucas will join Noel Fielding as the intense baking show's comic relief. No release date has been given yet, and Bake Off's publicists did not immediately respond to Mashable's request for comment.
