Clearing up any confusion that fans might have had, the Great British Bake Off Twitter account soon addressed the schedule shake-up.

“It is Sunday night. (Actually brb need to double check).”

The announcement came after Twitter lit up with confusion from fans, who were baffled that the show wasn’t airing on Tuesday instead.

“I keep thinking it’s Tuesday with bake off being on tonight,” penned one.

“Bake off being on a Sunday instead of a Tuesday has fully thrown me off what day of the week it is,” added a second.
