When and what time is Celebrity Bake Off 2022 on and who are the contestants?

The Great Celebrity Bake Off is back tonight with a new batch of celebrities.

Some of the biggest stars in the UK will take to the white tent in aid of Stand Up To Cancer. The charity spin-off series will see Ruby Wax, Gareth Malone, Laura Whitmore and Yung Filly compete tonight to win the Star Baker apron.

They will each compete in three rounds: the Signature, the Technical and the Showstopper challenges. It is then up to Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith to judge their bakes. Tonight, the celebrities will try their hand at fruit turnovers, chocolate fondant and meringue.
