The Great Irish Bake Off, which is based on – yes, you guessed it – The Great British Bake Off will be presented by Anna Nolan. Contestants will be assessed by a crack team of judges, including Biddy White Lennon, who appeared in RTE soap opera The Riordans before becoming a noted cook and food writer.
