as host alongside Noel Fielding , with Dame Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood returning as judges.
The Show will be " very traditional" This Time , Smith said. " We're doing all the regular weeks: Cakes, biscuits, bread, patisserie, chocolate, plus Party Cakes is a new theme. "
Mexican week backlashAfter Mexican week, there were accusations of casual racism and stereotypes because the hosts wore sombreros, used maracas and spoke in Spanish accents. There were also complaints that it featured dishes that weren't authentic.
After the episode aired, Hollywood said he was " gutted" with the reaction.
" I'd literally come back from Mexico about three weeks before we filmed the episode, " He Said .
