Great British Bake Off 2022 finale: Why is Noel Fielding missing? Matt Lucas reveals

The Great British Bake Off final for 2022 has officially started, with Syabira, Sandro, and Abdul competing to be crowned the winner. But Noel Fielding was notably missing at the start of the season finale, which was the last and final episode of the series.

According to his co-host Matt Lucas, Noel wouldn't be appearing on the first day of the final because he 'was feeling under the weather'. However, in response to the announcement, a fan expressed his disappointment, stating, 'No Noel? Why am I even watching this?'

One fan shared on Twitter, 'Omg, where's Noel...He makes the show'.


The former Little Britain comic (Matt Lucas) said that several Bake Off fans wished him well and that they hoped his co-host would return later in the episode.

Before the final, Noel excitedly posted on social media to get followers to watch, but he did not disclose that he wouldn't be there to start the event.

Noel may be heard in the audio describing what the bakers were doing, even though he wasn't in the tent when the Bake Off 2022 final began. Noel eventually showed up for the technical discussion with Matt, Paul, and Prue on the second day of the competition to talk about how unstable the challenge was for all three competitors.

After that, Noel and Matt presented the competition's final round, in which the bakers had to construct a complex culinary sculpture.

Sandro Farmhouse, 30, Syabira Yusoff, 32, and Abdul Rehman Sharif, 29, are competing in the 2022 Great British Bake off.
