RATINGS SUCCESS
The Great South African Bake Off has been a huge ratings success for BBC Lifestyle. The third series which is produced by Rapid Blue and sponsored by Huletts in association with Snowflake, premiered on Tuesday 17 October and impressively pulled in some of the best ratings for the baking competition ever.
BBC Lifestyle sat as the number two international channel on DStv during its transmission. The show has also proved to be a keen topic of discussion on social media with the #SABakeoff hashtag trending on Twitter in South Africa during the premiere episode’s launch.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE CELEBRITY BAKE OFF
This special episode will see six celebrity contestants bake for glory through the three rounds - signature, technical bake and the all-important showstopper, all with a festive theme. All the while their efforts will be scrutinised by the expert judging panel of Zola Nene and Tjaart Walraven. Anne Hirsch and Lentswe Bhengu also return as presenters.
Who will shine like a star and who will fail to rise to the occasion?
