The Great Celebrity Bake Off 2024 saw 20 famous faces heading into the white tent to show off their baking skills (or baking fails!) and raise money for Stand Up To Cancer.
Following the huge success of The Great British Bake Off 2023, which saw 28-year-old Matty Edgell join The Great British Bake Off winners list, we had a new batch of celebrities trying to impress judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood. But who was awarded a famous Hollywood handshake and who suffered from a soggy bottom?
As usual, each episode saw the celebrities battle it out over three rounds, the Signature, the Technical and the Showstopper challenge in a bid to be crowned star baker at the end of their episode. Unlike the usual series, no one was sent home from the celebrity spin-off.
