The Great Celebrity Bake Off 2023: Start date, hosts and news
A new cohort of celebrities will be entering the Bake Off tent and hoping to be crowned Star Baker.
Oh, how we've missed the Bake Off. We don't have to wait too long at all though, as the new Great Celebrity Bake Off, in aid of Stand Up to Cancer, is back!
Celebrities including David Schwimmer, AJ Odudu, Jesy Nelson, and Paddy McGuinness will be setting their egg timers and getting ready to show judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith their baking skills (or lack thereof).
Will any of the star-studded cast receive a Hollywood handshake? Or will they crumble under the pressure? Only time will tell.
The 20 celebs entering the iconic tent aren't the only thing that's new about this year's series - it's moving to a brand new schedule spot, airing on Sunday nights instead of Tuesday evenings.
Yep, that means you can banish those Sunday night blues with a big portion of Bake Off, watching stars including comedian Tim Key, diver Tom Daley and even the GC herself Gemma Collins attempt to win the coveted title of Star Baker.

The Great Celebrity Bake Off 2023 judges
As ever, Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will be on hand to set tasks for the contestants and decide which one deserves the title of Star Baker. Yes, their standards have to take a bit of a dive when it comes to the celebrity spin-off versus the main show, but that certainly doesn’t mean that they’re easy to impress.
The Great Celebrity Bake Off 2023 hosts
Joining Prue and Paul will be hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas, who’ll be keeping morale up in the tent and quizzing the various contestants as they take part in the challenges.
This will be Little Britain star Lucas’s final outing in the Bake Off tent, after the comedian revealed last year that he is quitting the main show.
The Great British Bake Off: Stand Up to Cancer will air on Channel 4 in March. If you're looking for something to watch, check out our TV Guide or Streaming Guide. Visit our Entertainment hub for all the latest news.
