The fourth series of The Great British Bake Off began airing on 20 August 2013.[1] Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins again presented the show and Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood returned as judges.[2] As with series three, the competition was held at Harptree Court in East Harptree, Somerset.[3]

13,000 amateur bakers applied to appear on the programme, and 100 were selected for screen test, with the best 60 advancing to a three-day audition.[2] From these, 13 contestants were chosen this year so the judges could eliminate two people whenever they wanted.[4]

The winner of the Great British Bake Off 2013 was Frances Quinn.[5]

The fourth series was broadcast as the second season on PBS in the United States.
