In tonight's episode (Sunday 14th April), Joe Locke, the Rev Richard Coles, Adam Hills and Sara Cox will be welcomed into the tent by hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding.

They will be tasked with creating Signature biscuit bars, tackling a pastry in the Technical, and recreating their famous best friend for their Showstopper.

"I'm totally in awe of this year's celebrity bakers," host Alison Hammond said. "As someone who proved to be something of a baking genius when I baked in the tent a few years ago, I was delighted to be able to show them the ropes and where the oven doors were."

The Great Celebrity Bake Off 2024 line-up

The Great Celebrity Bake Off 2024 was announced earlier this year, with famous faces from all sides of the entertainment industry taking part to stand up to cancer.

Here's who will be taking part:

  • Jodie Whittaker
  • Paloma Faith
  • Munya Chawawa
  • Spencer Matthews
  • Danny Dyer
  • Rhod Gilbert
  • Yinka Bokinni
  • Leigh Francis
  • David O'Doherty
  • Oti Mabuse
  • Gabby Logan
  • Suzi Ruffell
  • Dermot O'Leary
  • Greg James
  • Fern Brady
  • Mel B
  • The Reverend Richard Coles
  • Sara Cox
  • Joe Locke
  • Adam Hills

"I'm starting to wonder if I might be slightly better than I give myself credit for," said Whittaker ahead of her debut. "Just to be a complete stereotype, I'm absolutely brilliant at Yorkshire puddings."

The former Doctor Who star also told WhatToWatch how she'd cope with any criticism: "As an actor, I need praise, so if I don't get any I'll be gutted. A Hollywood Handshake would mean more than I anticipated, because I was initially like, 'It's all a laugh, don't worry.'

"Then, as soon as I got in there, I really cared. Because of the naysayers at home who assume I'll be awful, I'd love to go, 'I told you I could do it!'"

Brady described herself as "insanely competitive", adding: "I badly want to win. I was telling my boyfriend last night, 'You know the prize for this is rubbish, you just get an apron that says 'Star Baker'.

"He was like: 'Are you joking, Fern? You would wear that all the time around the house."'

Meanwhile, James admitted that he's never really considered himself to be a baker, but said he "might be when the show is finished".

"Or I might never want to do it again," he added. "I don't think it really matters whether I'm a baker or not, I'm just going to have a nice time and hang out in the tent with Alison Hammond. What's nicer than that?"

Much like in series before, Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will be judging the celebrities and will decide who will win the coveted title of Star Baker.

"I'm absolutely thrilled to share that we're serving up another delightful season of The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer this spring on Channel 4," said Leith.

"Brace yourself for a delectable line-up of bakers, each with their own unique flair in the kitchen – some are, admittedly, a bit more flour-savvy than others!

"Filming this show was a delicious dose of fun, sprinkled with some unforgettable baking moments. I can't wait for everyone to see it."

Hammond was confirmed as Matt Lucas's replacement in March 2023, and said in a statement at the time: "Finally, I can talk about it! I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining The Great British Bake Off. It's a huge honour to be back in the tent and I can't wait to get started."
