Great British Bake Off contestants James, Kevin and Sandro have been labelled the favourites to win the 2022 iteration of the programme ahead of it starting today.
They all have 6/1 odds from the betting company William Hill, as the programme begins today (Tuesday, September 13) at 8pm on Channel 4.
The show has become somewhat of a staple in the viewing habits of many households in the UK over the past few years, and anticipation for the new series has been high.
Behind the main trio in the odds there is Will and Abdul who are on 7/1 odds to go all the way, whilst Syabira is on 8/1 and Dawn and Maisam are on 9/1.

William Hill spokesperson, Tony Kenny, said: “The Great British Bake Off is one of the nation’s favourite shows and we’ve got another bunch of aspiring bakers gunning for the grand prize.
“We obviously don’t know too much about them at this stage, but the trio which our traders think have the best chance are James, Kevin and Sandro, who are all priced at 6/1.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
