The Kenyan broadcaster has yet to be announced, but the ten-episode series will be sponsored by the Unga Group, which is comprised of businesses ranging from wheat and maize milling to baking and animal nutrition products; the company is hoping that through the format, the nation will be inspired to bake.<\/p>\n<p>Showstopper has already produced a local adaptation of <em>Dragon\u2019s Den<\/em>, which airs in Kenya as <em>Lion\u2019s Den<\/em>. The production company is co-owned by Daniel Prior and Kiran Jethwa, the latter of whom has hosted and presented food programs such as <em>Extreme<\/em> and <em>Food Unwrapped<\/em> for Channel 4.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Great Bake Off<\/em> sees amateur bakers face off through a signature, technical and showstopper round, baking everything from local fare to world-renowned delicacies, for a shot to be crowned champion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>The Great Bake Off<\/em> has proved an international hit and continues to win new fans in every corner of the globe,\u201d commented Andr\u00e9 Renaud, VP of global format sales at BBC Studios. \u201cWe\u2019re delighted with the news that Kenya will be getting their very own local version of the baking competition following the popularity of the international U.K. and Australian editions of the show, which currently broadcast on DStv\u2019s BBC Lifestyle. The deal helps to broaden the international reach of the show, and we all look forward to growing <em>The Great Bake Off<\/em> fan base even further.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBC Studios has sold The Great Bake Off to Kenya\u2019s Showstopper Media for a local adaptation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":6891,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1694,1695,557],"class_list":["post-6890","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-studios-distribution","tag-showstopper-media","tag-the-great-bake-off","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Great Bake Off Heads to Kenya - TVFORMATS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/bbc-studios-the-great-bake-off-heads-to-kenya\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Great Bake Off Heads to Kenya - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"BBC Studios has sold The Great Bake Off to Kenya\u2019s Showstopper Media for a local adaptation.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/bbc-studios-the-great-bake-off-heads-to-kenya\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-04-08T05:00:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-04-08T14:25:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/07\/Bake-Off-Titles-0419.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"336\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/bbc-studios-the-great-bake-off-heads-to-kenya\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/bbc-studios-the-great-bake-off-heads-to-kenya\/\",\"name\":\"The Great Bake Off Heads to Kenya - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-04-08T05:00:50+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-04-08T14:25:13+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/bbc-studios-the-great-bake-off-heads-to-kenya\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/bbc-studios-the-great-bake-off-heads-to-kenya\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/bbc-studios-the-great-bake-off-heads-to-kenya\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"The Great Bake Off Heads to Kenya\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\",\"name\":\"TVFORMATS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\",\"name\":\"Alison Skilton\",\"description\":\"Alison Skilton is an associate editor of World Screen.
