This series was the last to be broadcast on BBC One, as the production company Love Productions opted to move the show to Channel 4.[3] As such, it was also the last series to feature Sue Perkins, Mel Giedroyc, and Mary Berry.[4][5]

In the United States, the seventh series was broadcast as the fourth season on PBS and streamed as Collection 4 on Netflix.

Christmas specials edit

The Masterclass episodes were replaced by two Christmas specials, which featured eight contestants from the series 2–5. The two Christmas specials were the last to be aired on BBC before the channel move, and thus featured the last appearances of hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins and judge Mary Berry. Judge Paul Hollywood then followed the channel move.[34]

The first Christmas special featured Mary-Anne Boermans (Series 2), Cathryn Dresser (Series 3), Ali Imdad (Series 4) and Norman Calder (Series 5). The competition was won by Mary-Anne Boermans. The second Christmas special featured Janet Basu (Series 2), James Morton (Series 3), Howard Middleton (Series 4) and Chetna Makan (Series 5). The competition was won by Chetna Makan.

Controversies edit

Before the series had begun, some viewers complained of the "gendered" icing in preview pictures of the bakers. In the promo shots of the bakers, the male bakers were given blue icing while the female bakers were given pink icing, whereas the previous year, every baker was given the same colour regardless.[35][36][37] As a result, the BBC altered the colouring of the icing.[38]

Post-show career edit

Candice Brown was an occasional cook on ITV's This Morning. She appeared as a contestant on series 10 of Dancing on Ice in 2018.[39] as well as on The Great New Year's Bake Off and Celebrity Mastermind which she won.[40] She runs a pub, Green Man, in Eversholt, Bedfordshire.[41] She has written a cookbook Comfort: delicious bakes and family treats released in 2017.[42]

Andrew Smyth has appeared on Lorraine on ITV,[43][unreliable source] Christmas Kitchen on BBC One.[44] He baked a cake as a rotating jet engine for Prince William when he visited the Rolls-Royce factory in Derby where Smyth worked.[45]

Ratings edit

The opening episode had an average viewing figure of 10.4 million according to overnight ratings, an improvement over the figure of 9.3 million for the corresponding episode in 2015. This made it the most watched TV show of 2016 so far, with the official figure also making it the most watched TV show since the 2015 Bake Off Final.[46] Its run on the BBC ended with an average overnight viewing figure of 14 million for the final, peaking at 14.8 million, which is a record for the show.[47] The series dominated the list of most-watched programmes in 2016, with nine of the top ten being episodes of the show.[48] Its finale was watched by 15.9 million viewers (7 days cumulative figure), which makes it the most-watched TV shows in the UK in four years since the closing ceremony of the London Olympics in 2012,[49] and the most-watched TV show of the year.[50]
