Judges for Junior Bake Off

The 2024 series will welcome back Ravneet Gill and Liam Charles as regular judges while Harry Hill is back to host the series.

Selected from thousands of applicants, talented junior bakers enter the iconic white tent and compete in the most challenging and exciting contest to date.

How the show works

The competition will see 16 contestants taking part, starting the competition with two separate week-long heats facing Technical Bakes and Showstopper challenges.

Only the best will get through to the third and final week, having put their cake, biscuit, bread and pastry-making skills to the test.

The first episode, Liam tests the bakers in a tricky cartoon Technical Challenge, where they must turn a 3D cake into a 2D comic delight. Then in the Showstopper, the bakers transport the judges beyond space and time with time-travel-themed cakes
