Great Kiwi Bake Off Switches Channels

TVNZ is bringing back The Great Kiwi Bake Off for a third helping — but this time it will be the channel where it should have screened from the outset.

TVNZ 1 will premiere season three in its 7.30 Thursday lifestyle-and-design slot on October 14.

The 90-minute episodes will feature the same hosts (Madeleine Sami and Hayley Sproull) and judges (Brettschneider and Sue Fleischi).

This season’s batch of amateur bakers are:

Alby Hailes, 26, Whangarei 

Christina Fehlmann, 30, Hamilton 

Courtnay Fatetia, 27, Masterton 

Gabriel Weibl, 43, Timaru 

Hamish Russell, 32, Auckland 

Jasmin Hohaia, 35, Auckland 

Pera Bella Tipene, 53, Tauranga 

Teniqua Jones, 29, Hamilton 

Thomas Anderson, 38, Auckland 

Wendy Banks, 43, Queenstown
