Fans of The Great British Bake Off are in for a treat as there's a brand new series hitting our screens much earlier than usual. This time though, it isn't amateur bakers in the tent as the Channel 4 hit will be welcoming more celebrities into the tent, all for a great cause.
Across five episodes, due to air from Sunday, March 19, at 7.45pm, the line-up of celebrities will be doing their bit in aid of Stand Up To Cancer, a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4.
The full line-up for Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer was revealed earlier this year, and it includes stars of Friends and The Inbetweeners. The charity spin-off series returns later this year with 20 celebrities from the worlds of TV, film and music.
Each episode of the Channel 4 favourite will see the celebs battle it out over three rounds – the Signature, the Technical and the Showstopper challenge – in a bid to be crowned Star Baker. Judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith will return to the series alongside hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas.
This will be Matt's last stint in the famous tent as he announced in December that he is stepping down from the main show as he could no longer commit to its schedule alongside his other projects. It was announced earlier this week that Alison Hammond will be the new co-host alongside Noel when the main series returns later this year.
Hoping to wow the judges in the tent this year are Friends star David Schwimmer, The Inbetweeners actor Joe Thomas and Olympian Tom Daley. They will compete alongside Dragons’ Den star Deborah Meaden, comedian Judi Love, TV presenter AJ Odudu and radio DJ Adele Roberts.
Former Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson, The Repair Shop’s Jay Blades, Ted Lasso actress Ellie Taylor, TV presenter Paddy McGuinness and Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan will also be hoping to impress with their baking skills. Elsewhere in the lineup is Funny Girls actress Rose Matafeo, reality TV’s Gemma Collins, comedian Mike Wozniak, Spaced and W1A actress Jessica Hynes and actor David Morrissey.
