Sandi Toksvig is leaving

Or the Reverend Kate Botley, she's great fun.

Sarah Millican for me please. I know she would shut that smug Paul up!!! Or the Rev Richard Coles.

I reckon Sarah Millican would eat Paul Hollywood alive! That would be worth watching.

Oh can't stand Sarah Millican. Please not her

Susan Calman would be good but also our NE comedian Sarah Millican would be great. Mind you she'd probably eat all the cakes and goodness knows what Paul Hollywood would make of her.

Would luv to see Miranda host - though hopefully she’s working on a new show of her own anyway. Loved her 10 year show at the Palladium recently.

What about Richard Coles?

Definitely Susan Calman ? Love Nadia Hussain but another cook wouldn’t be a good idea, the contestants need a ‘friend ‘ not another critic ?

Nadia is a great cook , and is a lovely person, but lacks humour .

Nadiya would be good and has some credibility given her cooking skills. Also seems very grounded.

I too think that Susan Calman would be great!

Philomena Cunk
Good choice!

I'm also enjoying Best Home Cook and this series seems a lot better than the last one. I quite like Angela so perhaps that's why. I don't like Jo Brand so I wouldn't want to see her on Bake Off.

Never watched BO but I like Sandy and Susan Calman.

I've loved watching ST and Noel together (I obviously don't have a very sophisticated sense of humour). To replace her has anyone mentioned Zoe Lyons? Not seen her on TV for a while but can be very funny and could work well I think.

Why can't Noel do it on his own?

The humour between them was trite and silly anyway.

I'd like to see MUCH more of Noel.

Another vote for Susan Calman. She would be very good.

I wish Paul Hollywood would leave. I find him arrogant and creepy. When he offers that ‘Hollywood handshake’ it makes me cringe.

I really enjoy Sandi and Noel together - sorry she is leaving.

I'm glad she's leaving. Get rid of Noel now, didn't like ether of them.I stopped watch in the first couple of weeks as I didn't think either suited the show.

Susan Calman, what a great suggestion WOODMOUSE.

I thought Sandi and Noel were very good but he needs a replacement to match the sillyness and warmth that he is known for and that in turn puts the contestant at ease and rallies comradery between them.

Please not Jo Brand / Tom Allen / Nadia/Tom Charles.

I have enjoyed watching Junior Bake Off and Harry Hill has been excellent and he would be an equal choice for me or Susan.

I'm sad to see Sandi go but she's doing the right thing imho.

Gbbo has had its day now, perhaps, and needs to turn off its oven.

However ...I'd love to see Tom Allen - he'd be a scream.

Whilst I like Sandi and Noel individually, I think that together they are like a pair of pantomime dames - decidedly unfunny and I feel embarrassed for them. No view on who could replace Sandi, but good luck to her.

I have to agree with some other posters. Bake off has had its day, as have most of the long standing cookery programmes. Master chef, Celebrity Master chef professional Master chef. I understand it is not expensive to make these programmes but can we have less food programmes generally please.

NOT Claudia Winklman!!!! NO NO NO!!!!

But every good drama needs a bad guy! The one we love to hate. He gives good bakers their due.
