As huge fans of the brilliant Great British Bake Off, we're so excited to watch this year's series of the Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer. The joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4 has raised more than a whopping £93 million to date.
With the celebrity line-up finally being revealed, here's everything you need to know about the show.
When does Celebrity Bake Off start?
The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer begins on Sunday 16th March at 7.40pm on Channel 4 and there will be five episodes in total.
If you can't watch it on TV, you'll be able to catch up online at Channel 4, where you can also find previous series.
The Great Celebrity Bake Off judges
Paul Hollywood will return to observe the celebrities and judge their creations as they tackle their signature bakes, technical challenges, and, of course, the Showstopper.
Sadly, Prue Leith has announced that she will be stepping down from filming future series of Celebrity Bake Off (after the 2024 episodes), due to the back-to-back filming commitments it requires with the usual series.
For this series, Prue will be replaced by her close friend Caroline Waldegrave, the former co-owner and managing director of Leiths School of Food & Wine.
Who will host The Great Celebrity Bake Off?
For the second year running, The Great Celebrity Bake Off: Stand Up to Cancer will be co-hosted by Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond.
Alison, who also appeared as a contestant on Celebrity Bake Off in 2020 said, “I’m totally in awe of this year’s celebrity bakers, all putting their baking skills, or in some cases lack of, under nationwide scrutiny to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer. And 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. On your mark, get set, Bake for Stand Up To Cancer."
