Junior Bake Off (series 5)
The fifth series of Junior Bake Off began 4 November 2019, with 20 contestants competing to be crowned the series 5 winner. Comedian Harry Hill presents the show, with baker Liam Charles and professional cookery writer Prue Leith as the judges this year. The bakers were divided into two groups of 10, with five eliminated from each group over five days of competition. The remaining five bakers from each group were combined in the week-long finals, culminating in a "super-difficult showdown" episode that determines the winner. Fin won the 2019 series. [1][2]
