The batch of bakers are: Amanda (56), George (34), Chigs (40), Tom (28), Crystelle (26), Freya (19), Giuseppe (45), Jairzeno (51) Jürgen (56), Lizzie (28), Maggie (70), and Rochica (27).
Prior to its return, Paul Hollywood issued a stark warning to viewers not to bully the contestants online.
He warned fans that online abuse can "damage people", and opened up about his own experience with it in the past.
The baker shared that while he has gotten to a point where he's used to it, the amateur bakers have not.
He added that last year, he had to come to the defense of Laura Adlington, who was targeted by trolls.
Hollywood said: "It had gone out of control, and it is so easy in lockdown when people have got nothing else to do, and all they're going to do is bombard someone they're not particularly happy with. And you can't feed into people like that, you've got to be really careful - and so I had to say something.
"I think, ultimately, you're always going to get sides, you know? It's like football - you're always going to get one side against another. But I think, ultimately, as long as you support them, and Bake Off do, I saw what was happening and I had to say something."
The Great British Bake Off kicks off tonight at 8pm on Channel 4.
