The series – again in aid of Stand Up To Cancer – will return to Channel 4 this spring.

The full list is:

Jodie Whittaker with Paloma Faith, Munya Chawawa and Spencer Matthews

Alison Hammond, who appeared on the celebrity version of the show before joining the show as host alongside Noel Fielding, said, ‘I’m totally in awe of this year’s celebrity bakers, all putting their baking skills, or in some cases lack of, under nationwide scrutiny.

‘And as someone who proved to be something of a baking genius when I baked in the tent a few years ago, I was delighted to be able to show them the ropes and where the oven doors were.’
