With the Bake Off back on our screens, there was always going to be a mixed reaction to the new presenters, judge and the show's new home of Channel Four.
The ad breaks gave viewers a chance to air their views on Twitter using the hashtag #GBBO. Here's our pick of the best.

One half of the new presenting team seemed to get the most reactions.
Some people though he seemed a bit out of place.
Noel Fielding on #GBBO is like seeing your mate who's always off their head at their day job at the bank trying to act professional.

I'm not sure I can be bothered with #gbbo.
Noel is like a duck in your hot tub. Oddly intriguing, but ultimately you wish it wasn't there.

Noel's like someone who ran for class prefect for a laugh, then somehow, won the vote and now suddenly has to be the class prefect #GBBO

Whereas others loved his famous quirkiness.

Was concerned Noel was acting too normal and reserved...then he tried to eat the decorative flower. I think we're good 👍#GBBO

Some coveted his style.

And then there were the comparisons to previous presenter, Sue Perkins.

Most just missed Mary Berry.

The first showstopper challenge is an illusion cake. Really hope someone's illusion is just a life size Mary Berry statue. #GBBO

Some pointed out hilarious Mel and Sue comparisons between the two new presenters.

There was a lot of nostalgia for the previous contestants.

First advert is for eBay. Speaking of selling things to the highest bidder. #GBBO

Finally, we can't argue with these spin off off ideas...
I would pay good money for a podcast of Mel, Sue and Mary getting drunk and doing commentary of the entire episode #GBBO
