The Great British Bake Off's first episode of the new series has proved a ratings hit for Channel 4 - averaging 6.9 million viewers and peaking at 7.9 million

The skit followed the prime minister's televised address to the nation just moments before, which delayed the start of the show by 15 minutes., after posting a short video online in May that mocked an address by the PM about easing the coronavirus lockdown.

Twelve new contestants took to the tent for the eleventh series, which is airing a month later than usual.
