The full lineup for The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer has been revealed, and it includes stars of Friends and The Inbetweeners. The charity spin-off series returns later this year with 20 celebrities from the worlds of TV, film and music.
Each episode of the Channel 4 favourite will see the celebs battle it out over three rounds – the Signature, the Technical and the Showstopper challenge – in a bid to be crowned Star Baker. Judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith will return to the series alongside hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas.
In December, Lucas announced he is stepping down from the main show as he could no longer commit to its schedule alongside his other projects. This year’s star-studded lineup includes Hollywood stars and Olympic gold medallists.
