There are so many great shows coming to our screens this spring, and The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer is a particular highlight that we’re so excited for. And this year’s star-studded edition is packed full of familiar faces, from Molly-Mae Hague to Nella Rose and Ambika Mod.
Who’s hosting and judging the celeb edition?
So what does the much-loved baking show have in store for 2026? Aside from a stellar celebrity lineup (which we’ll get to later) Paul Hollywood will also be joined by a fresh-faced new judge: internationally renowned pastry chef, Cherish Finden. For those not familiar with her work just yet, she’s revered for her exceptional technical skill in patisserie and sharp eye for detail. As ever, Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will be hosting the show and providing plenty of laughs along the way.
Ahead of the show’s launch, Cherish Finden said, “I am delighted to be joining Paul in judging Celebrity Bake Off for SU2C. Stepping from the professional kitchen into the famous Bake Off tent felt like my first day of school – my heart was racing and I had butterflies in my tummy!”
Cherish added, “Whilst I definitely haven’t left my ruler at home, judging these wonderful celebrities is about more than just precision, it’s about spreading joy and supporting a meaningful cause. To be part of SU2C and see the contestants push themselves out of their comfort zone for such a good cause was simply brilliant.”
When is Celeb Bake Off on Channel 4?
