00:00 It's that time of year again when all the great British Bake Off fans out there, all over the world, get really excited.
00:09 Because today, the 12 contestants for this year's series have been revealed ahead of next week's first episode on Tuesday next week.
00:19 I'm so excited. Who am I backing? I've got to go for anybody that's got a Yorkshire connection.
00:27 So we've got Abby, who now lives in Cumbria, but was brought up in Yorkshire.
00:31 She grows and delivers vegetables. And we've got Rowan, who's a student from West Yorkshire.
00:37 But anyway, all the best for all 12 contestants, because five years ago it was my turn in the tent.
00:45 And my life has developed and gone on all sorts of wonderful directions since then.
00:51 And culminating, I have to give it a plug, in my new book that I've just written. Oops!
00:57 Great British Bake Off official contestant. Good luck everybody. Fantastic. Ooh, so excited.
