THE celeb baking show for charity is serious but still saucy.
Two stars – Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp and comedian Harry Hill – have very personal reasons for signing up.
Chart topper Martin was diagnosed with brain tumours back in 1995 – but luck was on his side.
He explains: “They were benign but it’s a flip of the coin. This show is a new way of looking at cancer and finding ways to beat it.”
And TV Burp star Harry used to work as a doctor and knows all about fighting cancer.
He adds: “You get to 53 and your friends start getting cancer and it becomes real.
“I’m aware research has a positive impact on mortality rates.”
C4’s Stand Up To Cancer aims to Cold Feet Lucky Man. raise funds for research into the disease. Joining Martin and Harry are BBC presenter Bill Turnbull and comedienne Roisin Conaty.
But TV judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood still add some sauce.
After tasting Bill’s Wycombe Wanderers football club-themed cupcakes, Prue tells him: “When you get a whole mouthful it’s very good.”
And when Paul spots the footballs on top of his cakes, he chuckles: “Your balls look good.”
Bill chuckles: “You’re not the first person to say that.” ¬Ê
The Great Celebrity Bake Off For Stand Up To Cancer airs tomorrow night on Channel 4 at 8pm.
