The fourteenth series (2023) of The Great British Bake Off (also known as The Great British Baking Show) began airing on September 26, 2023. This season introduced Alison Hammond as a new co-host alongside Noel Fielding, replacing Matt Lucas who departed after three series. Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith returned as judges. The competition featured Britain's best amateur bakers, including the show's first-ever deaf contestant. The winner of the 2023 series was Matty Edgell, with Dan Hunter and Josh Smalley as runners-up. Some highlights of the season include:

  • Episode 1 focused on Cake Week, where challenges included making vertical layer cakes, the show's signature chocolate cake, and animal-shaped 3D cakes.
  • Episode 3 was Bread Week, featuring cottage loaves, Devonshire splits, and plaited centerpiece loaves.
  • The final episode involved making éclairs, Lardy cake slices, and elegant tiered celebration cakes inspired by the bakers' first bakes.

The season is notable for its new host dynamic, diverse bakers, and inventive challenges testing a wide range of baking skills.
