When is the Celebrity Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off on TV?

The Great Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off airs every Tuesday at 8pm on Channel 4. The series kicked off on Tuesday 5th March, and runs for five weeks.


Which celebrities are taking part in the Bake Off?

The full line-up for The Great Celebrity Bake Off 2019 includes Our Girl's Michelle Keegan, former Newsnight presenter Jeremy Paxman, The Crown's Winston Churchill actor John Lithgow and Love Island's Caroline Flack, who will be taking on the challenge of impressing Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood with their baking creations.

Across five episodes, we'll see the celebrities show off their skills in the tent. Comedians Russell Brand, Johnny Vegas, Jon Richardson and Joe Wilkinson are also among those slated to take part, going up against probably-not-at-all competitive Olympians and Paralympians including Katarina Johnson-Thompson, Nicola Adams and Hannah Cockroft.
