Former Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle is to join a host of other stars in the Bake Off tent.
The Co Derry native will join Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley, Olympian Kelly Holmes, comedian John Bishop and others in this year’s The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer.
Twenty celebs were involved in the amateur baker battle for the Channel 4 series, which has already been filmed but will not be shown until March.
They will try to impress judges Paul Hollywood, 54, Prue Leith, 80, and host Matt Lucas, 46, with their best efforts as they try and raise money for a very worthy cause.
A source said, Daisy Ridley, who found fame playing Rey in the 2015 film, Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, had being struggling under the pressure of the event.
They said: “She is shaking trying to finish in time. The pressure of the tent can even fluster a Jedi.”
Stand Up To Cancer has raised £62million for Cancer Research UK since 2012.
Along with Nadine, the other contestants are Daisy Ridley, James McAvoy, Kelly Holmes, John Bishop, Stacey Dooley, Tom Allen, David Baddiel, Jade Thirlwall, KSI, Ade Adepitan, Philippa Perry, Nick Grimshaw, Rob Beckett, Alexandra Burke, Anneka Rice, Reece Shearsmith, Dizzee Rascal, Anne-Marie and Katherine Ryan.
