While “more news soon” is still pending, judge Paul Hollywood filled viewers in on more details in a video posted to his Instagram in which he thanks hotels for accommodating the cast and crew for seven weeks while they finished filming amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

“We’ve managed to finally finish Series 11 of The Great British Bake Off,” the veteran judge announced. “It’s been really unusual this year filming under COVID conditions, but the lockdown has been amazing,” Hollywood added before thanking the crew and hotels again.
