Here's what you need to know.
As a comedian, Fern Brady is used to giving us belly laughs — but will her baked goods make our bellies rumble, or cause us to laugh for all the wrong reasons?
We'll find out on the The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer, as Brady competes against Dermot O’Leary, Greg James, and Mel B to be named Star Baker.
In this special celebrity edition of the show, judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood return to put the celebs through their paces, while co-hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding help us through the chaos of the Showstopper, Technical and Signature challenges.

But does Brady bring these skills, or fall at the last hurdle? That remains to be seen, but in the meantime, here's everything you need to know about the comedian.
