Fans of the Great British Bake Off were divided over the new line-up of the show as it debuted on Channel 4.
Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding have replaced Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins as hosts, while Prue Leith has replaced Mary Berry to judge alongside holdover Paul Hollywood.

Others mourned the absence of three quarters of the original line-up, with one fan tweeting: “Still wrestling with whether to watch #GBBO tonight….. I don’t want to feel like I’m cheating on Mel, Sue and Mary Berry.”
