Before the series had begun, some viewers complained of the 'gendered' icing in preview pictures of the bakers. In the promo shots of the bakers, the male bakers were given blue icing while the female bakers were given pink icing, whereas the previous year, every baker was given the same colour regardless.[35][36][37] As a result, the BBC altered the colouring of the icing.[38]
The opening episode had an average viewing figure of 10.4 million according to overnight ratings, an improvement over the figure of 9.3 million for the corresponding episode in 2015. This made it the most watched TV show of 2016 so far, with the official figure also making it the most watched TV show since the 2015 Bake Off Final.[39] Its run on the BBC ended with an average overnight viewing figure of 14 million for the final, peaking at 14.8 million, which is a record for the show.[40] The series dominated the list of most-watched programmes in 2016, with nine of the top ten being episodes of the show.[41] Its finale was watched by 15.9 million viewers (7 days cumulative figure), the most popular of the year.[42]
