‘Great British Bake Off’ fans were left disappointed after tuning in to the first episode of the new ‘Creme De La Creme’ series last night (Tuesday 29 March), and they didn’t waste any time in taking to Twitter to discuss the show.
The series is basically ‘Masterchef: The Professionals’ but for bakers, however, viewers were left disappointed by how different the show was to regular ’Bake Off’.

‘Bake Off Creme De La Creme’ is hosted by chef Tom Kerridge, and will return next Tuesday.
