The first trailer for the new series of Great British Bake Off has been released.

Channel 4 took to Twitter on Thursday to share the exciting 2018 teaser, which sees various animated cakes singing about their insecurities.

Viewers were immediately sent wild by the clip - with some even left in tears by the 'emotional' Christina Aguilera backing track - and lauded producers for the 'epic' advert on social media.

The funny clip sees an array of cakes, biscuits and pastries singing the pop star's 2002 hit Beautiful, after their own bakes in the oven went wrong.

A chocolate hedgehog takes centre stage with his teary rendition of the track, while mismatched scones and squashed cupcakes vow to stay strong in the face of criticism, as they are put up for sale.

Building to a big finish, the clip ends with an impressive three-tiered wedding cake belting out a high note, as it is presented to judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood, and hosts Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding.

Channel 4 shared the clip to their Twitter page, with the caption: 'Let the baking season commence. The Great British Bake Off. Coming soon.'

The trailer immediately sent show fans into a frenzy, who took to Twitter to praise the 'hilarious' but also 'emotional' advert.

One kicked things off by writing: 'A bunch of cakes sing Beautiful//Christina Aguilera in the GBBO ad and I just started crying at it, lmao I am a mess xo'

While another added: 'GBBO has an advert about insecure food crying and honestly I'm shook wtf'

Further fans praised: 'Fair play, the ad for the new series of GBBO is pretty epic' and 'Singing baked goods. what more can one ask of the universe?'

As others joked of their excitement: 'Super excited and impatient for Bake off to be back. Can't it be now?!?' and 'I just saw an advert for the new GBBO and I got so excited I screamed CAKE and now I'm off to the shop.'

The advert gave no more detail about when the show will return, but confirmed the original Channel 4 judges and hosts will be making a comeback.

Producers will no doubt be delighted by the reception to the trailer, after receiving lukewarm reviews for last year's teaser.

Delighted: Others used the opportunity to turn their excitement into an array of hilarious memes

The 2017 edition was branded 'creepy' by fans, after it saw an assortment of pastries including croissants, doughnuts, loaves and tarts similarly singing Paul McCartney and the Frog Chorus's We All Stand Together.

The trailer only added to fan woe at the time, as the show was also moving from its home channel of the BBC.

Channel 4 paid £75 million for three years of the hit show, with beloved hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc pulling out, as well as national treasure and star baker Mary Berry.

However, the reboot was an immediate hit with fans, and the final even scored Channel 4's highest ever viewing figures in 32 years.
