Fans of The Great British Bake Off were left saying it's 'criminal' as they were left sharing the same complaint just minutes into the new series. The hit show returned to Channel 4 on Tuesday night (September 26) with a bunch of fresh bakers entering the famous tent to vie for the title of Britain's best amateur baker.

The episode saw 42-year-old civil engineering resource planner Dan, from Cheshire, awarded the first star baker title of the series - but the MEN won't spoil who left in case you want to catch up.
