The former X Factor contestant and Loose Women panellist has signed up for the Channel 4 show as a co-presenter, replacing Tom Allen, who has stepped down after three years on the show.
Stacey will join current host, The Great British Bake Off's Liam Charles.
Channel 4's Bake Off: The Professionals sees professional bakers take on amazing patisserie challenges, set by Benoit Blin - the Head Pastry Chef at the Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons, and Cherish Finden, who is Executive Pastry Chef at The Langham, London.

"Oh yay, this is amazing! We can't wait for this! #GBBO," one wrote.
