Here’s what time episode seven of Bake Off is on tonight, as the bakers face Free From Week.

The Great British Bake Off is back tonight with the bakers tackling Free From Week for the first time in five years.

Last time on the show, the remaining contestants went head to head with a variety of pastry themed challenges. Tom earned Star Baker for a third time, while Clara was sent home.

As for what lies ahead of the six bakers still in the tent tonight (Tuesday, November 3), they must make a series of tasty treats for the judges - but without many of their usual ingredients - and in the hopes of making it to next week’s quarter-final.

Here’s what time Bake Off is on tonight, where you can watch and what they will be baking.

What week is it on Bake Off? Episode 7 theme

It is Free From Week in the Great British Bake Off tent, with episode seven marking the theme’s first appearance in five years.

Starting off strong with the signature, the bakers must create gluten-free pastries for a children’s party. Then for the technical, the contestants must make a vegan chocolate cake in the shape of an animal.

Finally, the showstopper is a children’s birthday cake which must be either plant-based, gluten-free, or dairy-free, AND feature a moving part.
