The Great Celebrity Bake Off line-up revealed

The star-studded lineup for a very special celebrity edition of The Great British Bake Off has been revealed.

Split over five parts, a batch of four celebs will compete each week to be crowned Star Baker over the course of three rounds - the Signature, the Technical and the Showstopper.

Comedians Russell Howard and Joel Dommett, TV presenter Kelly Brook, This Morning's Alison Hammond and Queer Eye's Tan France are all a part of the line-up.

Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood return to judge the celeb's baking skills all to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer.

And of course, Bake Off hosts Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig will be on hand "to provide tea and sympathy" in the famous tent.

The other celebrities competing in this year's spin-off series include Oscar-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss, singer James Blunt, tennis ace Johanna Konta, and actress Caroline Quentin.

Beloved documentary maker Louis Theroux is also on board, alongside TV presenters Alex Jones, Carol Vorderman and Scarlett Moffatt and TV judge Rob Rinder.

Comedians Mo Gilligan and Jenny Eclair, Love Island's Ovie Soko, ex-EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer, YouTuber Joe Sugg, and actor James Buckley will also be hoping to whisk their way to victory.

Sarah Lazenby, head of formats and features at Channel 4 said: "The Great Celebrity Bake Off is a key ingredient in our Stand Up To Cancer recipe.

"We've seen the power of using comedy and entertainment to bring awareness and raise millions of pounds to fund pioneering cancer trials.

"We hope viewers will enjoy this year's line-up of famous bakers." 

Stand Up To Cancer is a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4.

It has raised over £62 million, funding 52 clinical trials and projects involving 11,000 cancer patients.
