Things are about to get personal in the “Bake Off” tent this Sunday. Season 8 kicks off with a celebrity special, and the competition has a distinctly familial flavor. Married couple Chris and Rosie Ramsey go head-to-head, while siblings Scarlette and Stuart Douglas also face off in a baking battle for the ages. Talk about sibling rivalry!
With new judge, restaurateur and cookery writer Caroline Waldegrave joining Paul Hollywood, and hosts Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond presiding over the chaos, this episode is set to be a treat. The signature challenge? Scones – a deceptively simple tea-time classic that can quickly go awry. The technical challenge? A chocolatey old-school favorite that will test even the most seasoned baker. And for the showstopper, the celebrities must recreate their career highlight in cake form. Good luck with that one.
This “Celebrity Bake Off” is baking for a good cause, raising money for Stand Up to Cancer. Tune in to Channel 4 at 19:40 on Sunday to witness the flour fly and find out which celebrity will be crowned Star Baker.
