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.
How much does Prue Leith get paid for The Great British Bake Off?
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.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
