Bake Off is to move from the BBC to Channel 4 after the corporation refused to pay £25million a year to screen it.
The 41-year-old revealed how much he loves the show in an interview with Now magazine, saying: “We watch Bake Off”.
The presenter – who hosts numerous channel’s thought-provoking documentaries – has a longstanding relationship with Love Productions, recording pilot episodes for several television shows in 2014.
Richard McKerrow, Love Productions creative director said: “We believe we’ve found the flawless new home for Bake Off”.
Beca, from Penylan, said: “Mel and Sue are Great British Bake Off through and through”.
Northern Ireland engineer Andrew Smyth has escaped elimination from the Great British Bake Off for another week.
Yes, it will still be called Bake Off, but if Mel, Sue, Mary and Paul aren’t a part of it, then the entire show may as well be scrapped and renamed…
In the show, which aired last Wednesday (September 14) on BBC1 at 8pm, co-judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood set three challenges to test the nine remaining bakers on some store cupboard classics.
The programme, now airing on BBC1 on Wednesday evenings, is hosted by Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins. “Wherever they go, whatever they do, I think they’ll do a good job”.
The duo have hosted the show since it began on BBC Two in 2010 and have won acclaim by fans for their innuendos.

“We’ve had the most awesome time on ‘Bake Off, ‘ and have loved seeing it rise and rise like a pair of yeasted Latvian baps”, they added. “We wish all the future bakers every success”.
