The Great Celebrity Bake Off For Stand Up To Cancer

Channel 4, 8pm

Prepare to gorge on celebrity embarrassment as stars line up to enter the dreaded kitchen and do their best in this year’s five-part series raising awareness for Stand Up To Cancer.

The full Bake Off crew is on hand, with Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood (right centre) passing judgment, while presenters Noel Fielding (far right) and Matt Lucas (near right) provide the light relief. In this opening episode, comedian Alex Horne (Taskmaster) is vying with Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo, actor Blake Harrison (The Inbetweeners) and Emma Willis (The Voice) to be the first winner.

First, they have to tackle biscuits for the signature challenge, then make a batch of dainty madeleines for the technical round and create a showstopping choux sculpture depicting a secret talent. ★★★★☆
