Channel 4 has announced an incredible line-up for The Great Celebrity Bake Off this year.
The series, set to air this Spring, is in aid of Stand Up To Cancer, who raise significant funds for translational cancer research.
There will be five episodes in total, and each show will see four celebrities battle it out over three rounds (Signature, Technical and Showstopper) in a bid to be crowned Star Baker.
The line-up of 20 celebrities includes British actor James McAvoy, Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley, Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall, Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle, and TV presenters Stacey Dooley and Anneka Rice.

Sarah Lazenby, head of formats and features at Channel 4, commented: “What we all need right now is more joy.”
“Bake Off is serving up yet another dollop of fun courtesy of some very willing celebrities. We can’t promise a huge helping of baking inspiration, but we can deliver some much-needed laughs.”
