Spencer Matthews will be putting his baking skills to the test as he takes part on The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer, hoping to be crowned the next Star Baker.

Matthews is one of 20 celebrities stepping foot into the iconic tent, and will be guided by hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding as they take on Showstopper, Technical and Signature challenges in a bid to impress judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood.

“Brace yourself for a delectable line-up of bakers, each with their own unique flair in the kitchen – some are, admittedly, a bit more flour-savvy than others,” Leith said ahead of the show’s return.

Is Spencer one of those flour-savvy celebrities? Only time will tell. In the meantime, read on for all you need to know about the television personality.
