At the end of each show, only one celebrity baker will rise above the rest and be crowned Star Baker, and there will also be a new but familiar face joining them.
Joining Paul Hollywood at the judging table will be Bake Off: The Professionals judge, Cherish Finden, an internationally renowned pastry chef, celebrated for her exceptional technical skill and meticulous approach to patisserie.
Together, Paul and Cherish will taste, test and judge the celebrities’ baking efforts in each of these special Stand Up To Cancer episodes.
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!
“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.”
Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will also return to the Bake Off tent to offer encouragement, laughter and a comforting shoulder as the celebrity bakers go head-to-head.
