Bake Off is back with 2021's series of The Great Celebrity Bake Off in aid of Stand Up To Cancer, and it's set to be one of the best series yet.
Everyone's favorite baking show will be returning with a truly star-studded lineup featuring Hollywood stars, chart-topping musicians and DJs, popular comedians, and even a certain Olympic gold medallist.
A massive group of 20 celebrities will be taking part in the Celebrity Bake Off competition this year, and they will be competing over a span of five weeks throughout this spring, with four bakers stepping up to the kitchen counter each week.
And of course, we'll be seeing some of our favorite familiar faces return to judge and present the addictive cooking show, with professional chef and restaurateur Prue Leith coming back once again to join Bake Off expert Paul Hollywood in the judging, while recent addition comedian and actor Matt Lucas will be taking up his presenting post for a second time.
However, there's one notable exception in the cast of this series, which we feel may leave us slightly bereft - Noel Fielding, unfortunately, won't be back on screen quite yet, as he was on paternity leave while this series was filming.
But how can you tune into this year's Celebrity Bake-off and who will be sporting an apron this series to take part?
