Here’s what you need to know.
Radio 1 whizz Greg James is swapping the DJ studio for the Bake Off tent, as he prepares to put his baking skills to the test for The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer.
This year, a whopping twenty celebrities, all of differing baking abilities, participated in the special charity edition of the competition show.
So far, Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding have been there for all the highs, the lows, the kitchen failures and soggy bottoms you could dream of.
And of course, it wouldn’t be Bake Off without our judges, Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith. Discussing the new series, Leith said: “Filming this show was a delicious dose of fun, sprinkled with some unforgettable baking moments.”
So, how does Greg James fare in the tent? That remains to be seen, but in the meantime, here’s everything you need to know about the radio host.
