A new cohort of celebrities will be entering the Bake Off tent and hoping to be crowned Star Baker.
The Great Celebrity Bake Off is back, with a new line-up of famous faces attempting to show off their baking skills (or total lack thereof) in aid of Stand Up to Cancer.
This year’s edition looks set to be the most eclectic yet, with an impressive line-up that features everyone from Friends legend David Schwimmer to TOWIE standout Gemma Collins, plus a former Little Mix star and many more.
As ever, the 20 celebrities will be vying to impress the judges with their culinary abilities, hoping to win the title of Star Baker and maybe even receive a coveted Hollywood Handshake.
The star-studded companion series of The Great British Bake Off has brought us some of the most memorable moments to occur in the Bake Off tent, from comedian James Acaster’s notorious meltdown over a flapjack to Strictly Come Dancing star Joe Sugg fainting.
Here’s hoping that this season will be just as entertaining. In the meantime, here’s what we know so far about 2023’s Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer.

As ever, Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will be on hand to set tasks for the contestants and decide which one deserves the title of Star Baker. Yes, their standards have to take a bit of a dive when it comes to the celebrity spin-off versus the main show, but that certainly doesn’t mean that they’re easy to impress.
The Great Celebrity Bake Off 2023 hosts
Joining Prue and Paul will be hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas, who’ll be keeping morale up in the tent and quizzing the various contestants as they take part in the challenges.
This will be Little Britain star Lucas’s final outing in the Bake Off tent, after the comedian revealed last year that he is quitting the main show.
The Great British Bake Off: Stand Up to Cancer will air on Channel 4 in March. If you’re looking for something to watch, check out our TV Guide or Streaming Guide. Visit our Entertainment hub for all the latest news.
