Katherine Kelly first became a household name when she won the part of Becky McDonald on Coronation Street – a role she played from 2006 until she bowed out in 2012.

After winning multiple awards for Corrie, she has not struggled for work since. Her drama, Cheat, is addictive viewing and other shows she has been seen in include Doctor Who spin-off Class, Innocent, Criminal: UK, Liar, and Bloods.

Who will Katherine be competing against?

Katherine will be up against Strictly judge Motsi Mabuse, actress Katherine Kelly and actor-comedian Ben Miller, as they’re tasked with making a meringue roulade and traditional Italian biscuits, before baking a Showstopper cake to render a childhood memory.

The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer airs on Channel 4 on Tuesdays at 8pm. For more to watch, check out our TV Guide. Also visit our hub for more Entertainment news.
