‘The Great Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off’ special will air next month.
The hugely popular Channel 4 baking show – which was previously aired on BBC One before rival broadcaster Channel 4 acquired the rights in 2016 – will return to TV screens on March 5 with a star-studded celebrity line-up in aid of the charity Stand Up To Cancer.
Writing on Twitter, the show teased: "Take 20 brave celebrities. Add one Bake Off tent. Sprinkle liberally with catastrophe and mayhem. Serve and enjoy. The Great Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off. Starts Tuesday 5th March at 8pm on @Channel4. #GBBO (sic)"
The upcoming celebrity specials will consist of five episodes, and will feature a whole host of famous faces, including ‘Love Island’ host Caroline Flack, ‘Our Girl’ star Michelle Keegan, comedian Russell Brand, ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ winner Georgia Toffolo, ‘The Crown’ star John Lithgow, and presenter Rylan Clark-Neal to name a few.
Judging pair Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will be back to award star baker to the most successful celebrities, and hosting duo Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig will also return to guide viewers through each bake.
Hoping that the new series will raise money for such an important cause, ‘Bake Off’s executive producer Kieran Smith previously said: "All of us have been affected by cancer in some way or other and Love are proud to once again partner with Stand Up To Cancer. We hope the prospect of 20 famous bakers sweating it out in our famous white tent proves hugely entertaining, but most importantly helps raise vital funds for a very worthwhile cause."
‘The Great Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off’ specials will begin airing on March 5, on Channel 4.
