The Great Australian Bake Off Returns With New Co-Host Tom Walker

The Great Australian Bake Off is returning for its eighth season on Foxtel, introducing comedian and writer Tom Walker as the new co-host alongside returning host Natalie Tran. Walker, known for his offbeat humour and appearances on shows like Whose Line Is It Anyway?, replaces the late Cal Wilson, who passed away in 2023. The season will feature 12 amateur bakers competing in 10 episodes filled with creative challenges such as Tropical Tarts and Biscuit Dioramas, judged by Rachel Khoo and Darren Purchese. Tom Walker brings a fresh energy and quick wit to the show, which has been praised for its warmth, creativity, and joyful atmosphere. Foxtel has also confirmed that production on the ninth season is underway, with casting currently open. The series continues to be a beloved and feel-good baking competition that resonates with Australian audiences.
