Who are The Great Christmas Bake Off 2018 contestants?
THE Great British Bake Off remains, for many, the highlight of their summer, but in recent years, the show's Christmas special has also been a treat for baking fans.
And it looks like this year's Christmas special will be no different as stars from 2017 and 2016 reunite one final time. Here's the lowdown on who's back in the tent...
Who are The Great Christmas Bake Off 2018 contestants?
Liam Charles
Hackney-born Liam was a fan favourite on GBBO in 2017 but failed to reach the final after being eliminated in week 8.
Since the show finished, the star hosted his own show, Liam Bakes, which started on Channel 4 last month and is a six-part series starring Liam and his baking brilliance.
Earlier this year, Liam was announced as the presenter of Bake Off: The Professionals for Channel 4 and he's also released his own baking book, Liam Charles Cheeky Treats.

Flo Atkins
Bake Off's oldest ever contestant Flo, who applied for the show after her husband of 48 years, Richard, died of leukaemia, reached the third week in 2017.
She is probably best remembered for her incredible illusion cake that looked like a watermelon and prompted Paul Hollywood to profess his love for her.
Since her time on the show came to an end, the Liverpudlian baker impressed viewers with her version of the classic 1979 hip-hop song Rapper’s Delight by The Sugarhill Gang.

Jane Beedle
Jane Beedle finished runner-up in 2016 after impressing with her consistency and technical expertise.
The garden designer was awarded the coveted Star Baker title just once - during week one's Cake Week, thanks to her show-stopping mirror glazed cake.
Since her time on the show, Jane became one of the former contestants who take part in the workshop, Bake with a Legend, which offers experiences with “the nation’s favourite bakers”.

Andrew Smyth
Andrew is reunited with a fellow 2016 finalist Jane having made his name when he made a basket out of bread and delighted fans by wearing it on his head as a helmet.
Since he finished on Bake Off, Andrew has been dividing his time between his aerospace research and his love for baking.
Andrew has toured his live “bakineering” show around the UK and he has also baked a rotating jet engine cake for Prince William.
