The full line-up for this year's celebrity edition of The Great British Bake Off has been confirmed by Channel 4. The hit show will return to TV screens in Spring, the broadcaster has announced, but an official release date has yet to be revealed.

The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer sees a host of famous faces compete against one another to be crowned Star Baker. Each episode, four celebrities will be challenged to create their best bakes in the Signature, Technical and Showstopper rounds.

The contestants then show off their creations to the judges, which are usually Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood. However, Prue won't be appearing on this year's special.

Replacing the Bake Off judge is Caroline Waldegrave OBE, who is a longstanding friend of Prue and the former co-owner and managing director of Leiths School of Food and Wine.

Caroline will be joining forces with Paul on this year's celebrity Bake Off, as they judge the celebs' creations in the tent. Hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will be returning to front the star-studded spin-off show.

The celebrities taking on the challenge of The Great Celebrity Bake Off this year include podcaster Sarah Beeny, comedian Adam Buxton and Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway.

Journalist and Chicken Shop Date host Amelia Dimoldenberg is also on the line-up, joined by sibling TV presenters and property experts Scarlette and Stuart Douglas, model and author Ellie Goldstein, Loose Women star Gloria Hunniford OBE and actor Jim Howick.
