Ready, set, bake – for charity!
Viewers have been warned to expect liberal measures of “catastrophe and mayhem” as a host of famous faces set up home in the white tent in a bid to win over judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith with their baked creations.
The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer will see Johnny Vegas crying into oven gloves, Big Narstie fist bumping Leith and Russell Brand creating a baked vagina.
