Celebrity Bake Off starts tonight

It's that time of year again! The Great Celebrity Bake Off is back — and the line-up for 2021 looks, quite frankly, incredible.

Star Wars' Daisy Ridley, Olympian Dame Kelly Holmes, TV presenter Stacey Dooley, Hollywood heartthrob James McAvoy, comedian Katherine Ryan, psychotherapist (and Red's agony aunt) Philippa Perry and singer Alexandra Burke are just a few of the famous faces hoping to impress judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood.

The new season — which is once again supporting Stand Up To Cancer — was announced earlier this year. But only now do we know when to tune in.

The Great Celebrity Bake Off has officially confirmed the news that the feel-good show will be back on screens tonight — with the first episode airing on Channel 4 at 8pm on Tuesday 9th March.

The show has also shared a teaser trailer of the new series, giving fans a glimpse of what's to come, captioning the clip: 'One tent. 20 celebrities. Unlimited mayhem'.

The brand new series will air across five episodes and will see 20 celebrities doing their best to avoid the dreaded soggy bottom, while host Matt Lucas will be ‘keeping time and spirits up’.

Each episode will see four of the stars battling it out over the three usual baking rounds — the signature, the technical and the showstopper – hoping to be crowned 'star baker' at the end of the show.
