The Great Celebrity Bake Off Cast For 2021 May Be the Best We've Ever Seen

If The Great British Bake Off is the type of wholesome, feel-good TV that's been helping you get through months of lockdown — and, if like us, you've managed to watch every single episode available on All 4 — then the fact The Great Celebrity Bake Off [1] For Stand Up to Cancer is coming to our screens on 9 March is very, very good news. Even better news is that the group of celebrities that are flexing their baking skills to raise money for SU2C include some of the biggest names we've ever seen entering the tent.

Joining judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith is presenter Matt Lucas, who will be flying solo as his cohost, Noel Fielding [2], wasn't available when the show was being filmed. As for the 20 celebrities who will attempt to tackle the technical challenges and wow the us with their showstoppers? They include a Little Mix member, two Hollywood actors, a handful of comedians, an Olympian, two rappers, a Paralympian, and one former Girls Aloud member. Tom Allen, who hosted last year's Great Christmas Bake Off [3] in place of Fielding (who was on paternity leave at the time), will also find himself behind a workstation this time around.
