Battle for Bake Off. Channel 4 snaps up BBC hit @BritishBakeOff #GBBO

It has been announced that the Great British Bake Of will be leaving the BBC after the current series.

The show will now be shown by Channel 4, after it signed a three-year-deal with Love Productions, which makes the hit programme.

The BBC said it hoped the production compamy would change its mind and that Bake Off was a "quintessentially BBC programme". It is rumoured that Channel 4 will be paying £25 million per series, double what the BBC had offered.

But should the BBC be paying more to keep the show?
