The Great Celebrity Bake Off 2024 returns to Channel 4 later this year with a new group of celebrity contestants all taking to the tent in the name of Stand Up To Cancer.

‘And as someone who turned out to be something of a baking genius [sic] When I was baking in the tent a few years ago, I was happy to be able to show them the ropes and where the oven doors were.”
The Great Celebrity Bake Off will air on Channel 4 later this year.
