If JBO were to still be on CBBC and GBBO on Channel 4, would Channel 4 have been able to promote it on their channel?

Probably but there's no reason why they would have done that.

Candice Brown (former contestant) being linked to the job now.

Candice herself seemed to allude to the press reports by liking and retweeting a piece in the Daily Mirror. With that emoji of a flamenco dancer. 💃

I’ve never understood that emoji.

Another vote for Jayde Adams, she would be great

A new host should always be about trying to widen the appeal of the show so I don't think a former contestant is the way to go.

I'm betting the source of the reports is Candice herself or her agent.

I just don't get emoji full stop. I stopped at emoticon, and typing things like colon close bracket Smile, colon D Very Happy and semi-colon close bracket Wink Anything beyond that... I don't get it, sometimes wonder if I'm missing something...?

Having just watched her episode of 'Kevin McCloud's Rough Guide to the Future' I think Alice Levine would make a great Bake Off host.

She’d work so well with Noel. Would love to see this. Alternatively I think Diane Morgan deserves an opportunity like GBBO. She’d also work well with Noel.

I just can't think of her other than in character as Philomena Cunk - I'm already finding her VOs on the current Asda ads a little jarring.
