The Great British Bake Off has become one of the most popular shows in the UK after more than a decade of airing.
Originally, it was started on BBC, but it moved to Channel 4 and has continued to grow, with more than 14 series created.
Whilst the contestants change every season, the judges have remained the same for some time.
Paul Hollywood has featured since the programme first aired in 2010 and Dame Prue Leith joined when Dame Mary Berry left in 2016.
Ahead of the new season, we've answered some of the biggest questions, including how much the popular judges get paid for starring in The Great British Bake Off.
How much does Paul Hollywood get paid for The Great British Bake Off?
After moving from the BBC to Channel 4, it was widely reported that Hollywood got a rise in his paycheck.
Reports suggest that over three years, the baker gained £1.2 million as a judge on Bake Off.
However, that contract is now believed to have ended, earning him £400,000 a series, meaning he is expected to be on a bigger pay packet now.

Dame Prue keeps her salary hidden, however, when she first joined in 2017, her contract reported suggested £200,000 a season.
The judge's current pay is not published but it's suggested to have increased.
What is Paul Hollywood's net worth?
The baker has built himself a very nice sum of money throughout his baking career, with it being reported that his net worth stands at an estimated £12 million, according to The Sun.
