The tent is heating up one last time as “The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer” reaches its grand finale. This Sunday, a new batch of celebrities – actor Jim Howick, TV presenter Gloria Hunniford OBE, model Ellie Goldstein, and comedian Jamali Maddix – brave the heat of the kitchen for a worthy cause.
With new judge, Caroline Waldegrave, joining the ever-watchful Paul Hollywood, the pressure is certainly on, even for these stars. This being Bake Off, the challenges are as delightfully quirky as ever. A retro recipe for brandy snaps kicks things off in the Signature round, testing the celebrities’ precision and patience. The Technical, shrouded in secrecy as always, hints at a cheese-based creation with the ominous warning to avoid a cheesy outcome. And for the Showstopper? The bakers must create a cake that reveals their “best-kept secret.” That should be interesting.
Under the playful guidance of hosts Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond, expect the usual mix of triumphs and disasters, laughter and near-tears. But amidst the fun, there’s a serious purpose: to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer. So, tune in, enjoy the baking mayhem, and consider donating to this important cause. The final episode airs Sunday, April 13th at 7:40 PM on Channel 4.
