Channel 4 has confirmed it is to become the new home of The Great British Bake Off.

The broadcaster has secured the rights to the show as part of a three-year agreement with production company Love Productions. The show will remain on free-to-air television.

It is understood the first Bake Off programming planned to air on Channel 4 will be in 2017 and will be a celebrity version of the show in aid of Stand Up to Cancer.

Jay Hunt, Chief Creative Officer, Channel 4, said: "Channel 4 is very proud to be the new home for The Great British Bake Off. I'm delighted we have been able to partner with the hugely talented team at Love Productions to keep this much loved show on free-to-air television."

Richard McKerrow, Creative Director, Love Productions, added: "We believe we've found the perfect new home for Bake Off. It's a public service, free-to-air broadcaster for whom Love Productions have produced high quality and highly successful programmes for more than a decade. It's tremendously exciting to have found a broadcaster who we know will protect and nurture The Great British Bake Off for many years to come."
