A new cohort of celebrities will be baking to the best of their abilities.
Twenty celebrities are all about to step foot into the famous Bake Off tent as they raise money for charity in a new instalment of The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer.
It was announced earlier this year that the celebrity special would be returning, and the cast features a vibrant mix of famous faces – from Jodie Whittaker and Danny Dyer to Joe Locke and Oti Mabuse.
Over the course of five episodes, the fresh batch of celebrities will try their best to impress Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith with their baking skills through Signature, Technical and Showstopper challenges.
“I’m totally in awe of this year’s celebrity bakers,” host Alison Hammond said. “As someone who proved to be something of a baking genius when I baked in the tent a few years ago, I was delighted to be able to show them the ropes and where the oven doors were.”
