Here’s How The Cast Of ‘Great British Bake Off’ Is Reacting To The Announcement Of The New Host

By now you've likely heard that television personality Alison Hammond will be the new co-host of The Great British Bake Off. Now that the news has begun to settle, Hammond's soon-to-be cast members have shared their reactions—and "elated" would be an understatement.

Noel Fielding, who will serve as co-host alongside Hammond, had one of the most colorful responses of the bunch.

"It gives me so much pleasure to welcome @alisonhammond55 into the tent. I’m absolutely pumped we are working together. We are gonna spend the whole time giggling like naughty school kids. The bakers are gonna love you to bits," he wrote in the caption to a photo of Hammond.

The welcome wagon continued with Paul Hollywood, who also shared a photo of Hammond on Instagram and included an enthusiastic note. "@alisonhammond55 welcome!!!!! looking forward to seeing you in the tent, you’re going to love it X," Hollywood wrote.
