Alison will present the show alongside Noel Fielding who has been part of the Bake Off family since 2017.
Speaking about joining the show, Alison said: “Finally I can talk about it! I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the Great British Bake Off and can’t wait to meet this year’s bakers.
“It’s a huge honour to be back in the tent and I can’t wait to get started.”
