Not long now until Celebrity Bake Off 2022 returns this week with a whole new bunch of famous faces battling it out with baked goods – one of those people will be Gareth Malone!
The Channel 4 show is back to raise cash for the Stand Up to Cancer fundraiser, and the Great Celebrity Bake Off 2022 cast this year is looking pretty good!
We even have one of the presenters being roped in to take part after someone had to pull out at the the last minute – well played, Matt Lucas.
But how will Gareth do, and does he know how to pull off a stunning Showstopper?
Here is all you need to know about Gareth Malone!
Who is Gareth Malone?
Age: 46
Job: Choirmaster and broadcaster

Gareth Malone is a busy man and just some of the shows he has been involved in are: The Choir, Sing While You Work, Gareth’s All Star Choir, The Big Performance, The Naked Choir with Gareth Malone and the BBC Four documentary Shanties and Sea Songs with Gareth Malone.
And he put the work in even before that as he completed a postgraduate degree at the Royal Academy of Music and worked at the London Symphony Orchestra until 2009, where he ran their youth and community choir. Malone was appointed an OBE in the 2012 Birthday Honours, for services to music.
Who will Gareth be competing against?
Gareth’s Bake Off episode will air on Tuesday 29th March – and he has quite the line-up set to compete against him.
Gareth will be hoping to beat Yung Filly, Laura Whitmore and Ruby Wax, but will he have what it takes to be the Star Baker?
