Last year, Australians mourned the loss of Judge Cal Wilson who suddenly passed away in October 2023. Cal was a co-host with Natalie Tran on the seventh season of The Great Australian Bake Off in 2023 while Darren Purchese and Rachel Khoo hosted the series.
Following Cal’s passing, Foxtel and BBC Studios have not discussed how they will approach the new season in terms of judges. However, they have officially released a casting call for the upcoming season.
