The BBC gave up on the show because the current contract was coming to an end and they refused to pay the increase demanded by Love Productions to keep the series at the BBC. Given the simple format of the show, it shouldn't be too hard for BBC Productions to come up with a program in a similar format in-house, using the stars of GBBO who have stayed with the BBC.
The show is basically 'The Apprentice' with ovens anyway, isn't it? Surely, a few tweaks here and there and they should come up with something sufficiently different to keep them out of court.
