Do you think he’s a good fit?

After all the ups and downs and rumours about the new season of the Bake Off which will be on Channel 4, it seems they have finally chosen a presenter.

The new presenter will reportedly be Richard Ayoade, aka Moss from The IT Crowd.

According to the Sun:

“Richard is a really popular choice at the minute, as many think he’s got a great character that would bring a great spark to the show.

He’s got a wonderful off-beat sense of humour, which would really fit the change of channel – and would no doubt be a popular choice with viewers too.”

If Richard does become the new presenter, he will join Paul Hollywood on the new relocated season of the show. Paul is the only one of the team who will move to Channel 4 as Mel and Sue, along with Mary Berry refused to out of loyalty to the BBC.

The comedian, who is known for his dry sense of humour, has very big shoes to fill.

Meanwhile over at BBC there is still hope for the Bake Off we all know and love as bosses have said that that formats would be worked on in the next few months and that Paul would be replaced.

We’re interested to see which show gets the views if they do both take place.
